"view xx-many pages" -like feature for large threads 1

when a thread loses the ability to "view all" because it becomes too large, you are reduced to single page browsing. can you make it possible to view more than 1 page at a time? maybe 20(?) pages at a time like it is normally before the 'view all' feature disappears?
i swear i'm not lazy (okay just a little) but trying to keep interested in a large thread is hard when it becomes tedious to navigate and keep track of what page you're on. also, looking for information in one of those threads is like needle/haystack.
that is all. thank you!

Solid idea.
I meant to propose this a while back, but I'm lazy.

Did you notice the feature at the very bottom of the page in every subforum/thread, and probably in other places too, that allows you to search that particular thread? It's very helpful in that regard.

No I didn't. Does it search all of the pages of the thread or just the page you're on? I'd check myself but I'm on my phone and not on wifi.
