Please don't try viewing that thread all at once. On the Forum Menu, you'll notice that there is a "number of messages" entry for each thread. On long threads, that number becomes a blue clickable link - click on that link and the thread will load in segments. If you click on the "d" link after the number, it will load the thread in descending segments, with the newest message on top.
