It would be nice to have a “Show Thread” button next to “\< Prev” and “Next \>” buttons. This button would show all the messages in chronological order within the Thread from oldest on top to newewst at bottom.

Like the “Show All” button at discussion forum level, this new “Show Thread” button is at a Thread / post sequence level. A “Thread” is a sequence of messages posted using the “Reply to this message” button.

Just trying to make FIX browsing FASTer 🙂

The detail page for every message that is part of a thread shows the whole thread at the bottom, in the same nested order as on the forum page. Is that not what you’re asking for here?
