Can't change main page descriptions

I have been chasing this for days. I don't want to show any descriptions in the main content boxes of the home page. I can't find where this is called. I thought it might be a TM issue but it show the same with the default Green template too. I wouldn't mind the "..." as shown in the Specials and New but I would like to change the Featured Desc length. The admin setting don't seem to affect the main page unless I'm missing something.
Any help is appreciated.

Re: Can't change main page descriptions

Thank you Misty but I have tried everything I could think of in the Admin. Changing these setting in admin only changes the display for the listing pages, not the main page. The main page product desc's are what I would like to change.
"..." is all I get for Specials and New And 100 characters for featured. Both those admins are set to 150.
Thank you

Yes, the home page descriptions remain the same. I thought it might be the TM template too.

Re: Can't change main page descriptions

Hi Misty,
No change to the home page featured listings. I tried a few of the positioning tools in admin/configuration/featured listing/ and they don't affect the home page Featured boxes. I tried in "classic" also, no affect.
Thanks for replying
