I tried searching, but didn't see a previous thread on this topic, so here I go...

Wouldn't it be better to have the "Expand All" link iterate through a javascript loop to expand each post (in much the same way we do when we click on the + symbol)? I would think this would create two distinct benefits:

1) Faster expansion in the browser.
2) Less load on the server.

Since the text from each post is already loaded when you view the thread, you could cut the additional load on the server and the user could get faster expansion of the posts.

Just a thought!
