Not Supported Uses Plugins  

This is ported from my 3.0.7 version, but converted to the new plugin system.

What this hack does: Large threads are resource intensive, and when the user is viewing them in threaded mode, they are even more resource intensive, and will actually crash the php process. This plugin will allow threaded mode as normal, unless the thread is large (1000+ posts), it will then force the display mode for that thread to linear mode.

Installation: Download the plugin file attached, and install it through the admincp plugin system

Side effect: After KirbyDE's suggestion below, problem solved, no need to wait for a new vB hook.

Note: The php process crash is not a vB bug, it's simply the limit of available memory. You may increase the memory allowed for php in the php.ini file. But no matter how much memory you allow, some huge threads will excede it, and crash the php process.
