"Show all"

Hey now, just wondering, when/why did the feature disappear that let you view a thread in its entirety, every page on one screen?

Strange, I don't have it; for example in this thread about testicles in the Pub I don't have a Show All option. Above and to the right of the original post in the thread I see links to pages 1 through 14, and then "Next" but no Show All.

This isn't new. There's a page limit (don't know the number) where "show all" doesn't appear.
-------------------- You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers

Yeah, the "Show All" option isn't available for threads after they reach 500 replies. Unfortunately, it's a necessary performance tradeoff.

Would it be possible to implement an option to "Show first 500 replies", "Show next 500 replies", "Show last 500 replies", etc...
If it's possible, to avoid clutter, I would make it so once the thread reaches 500 replies then instead of it saying "show all" have it say something like "Show more" and have it either be a drop down box where you can select the options I stated above, or take you to a new page, like what happens when you click "show all", but instead where the page numbers usually are replace them with the options I stated earlier.
...or something like that.

Cool, just was wondering. Has that always been the case? I'm getting old and my memory is .
