Please include the first line of Topics everywhere

It is really nice to see both the title and the first line of topics. It gives so much more information as to what the topic is about than just the title. However, this appears only in some areas. It would be nice if this was a consistent, rather than a sporadic, feature.

Here in the Ideas section, both are always shown.

When I go to a group I follow through the Groups tab, only announcements get this treatment. The clear difference here shows how useful this is:

When I go through the My Feeds tab, depending on the length of the topic all of it may show up or just part of it. Since you really can't tell if it is the complete post, and since you can't comment on it or see any replies unless you click on it, all that having the longer listing does is make it harder to scan through the five topics posted there:

Here, for example, the links are formatted worse than in the actual post, the last link's name is cut off, and there are about three more line in the actual post. I don't need to see this much of it to decide to click on it and since I can never be sure if the whole post is showing, I'll be clicking on it anyway. So the first sentence would be sufficient.

Again, to repeat after all of that, please consider having all lists of topics in all areas at all times no matter where displayed appear as title and first line like this:
