How much more would you want to show? If after seeing this much of the topic, instead of clicking “Expand”, why not just go to the topic - if it interests someone that much?  
If you want to change the maximum number of characters from the default 300 to something higher, you can go to _Settings/Posting_ and scroll down to _post excerpt maxlength_ (Maximum length of a post excerpt / summary) and increase the number. But you should remember… this is a **summary** , and that’s what it’s meant for. 😉
