Unless you mean the posts would auto-load on the same page?
They'd load on the same page, hence infinite scrolling if the thread is long enough.
For example, if a thread is 20k post long. You could start from post 1 and keep scrolling for 1 hour until 20k.
A "Show more" button could work as well, as long as it keeps you on one page.
I'm almost certain this would have the same issue as the postcount suggestion explained 3 pages ago(?). But i could be wrong

Nothing is pre-loaded with my suggestion. The pages are loaded on-demand by the user upon clicking on "Show more" or scrolling enough.

Also what about...
Infinite scrolling? You'll never have to worry about the Post 10 monster eating your posts!
Users will be able to scroll and scroll and that will trigger the next page to load. I personally hate it when Post 10 gets buried by the next page
The only thing that concerns me about this is the fact that these pages need a refresh. These pages benifit greatly from a refresh/reload.
The number of errors that are thrown on forum pages that are unhandled is never zero. Dynamically adding more content to the page will often throw the errors again. An accumulative error effect occurs. This is something all developers have to watch for when dealing with dynamic content, particularly with AJAX.
Complete reload of pages in this case is good. Yes it can be done without a refresh, but I expect there may be undesirable side effects.
TBH I haven't tried, and I won't know until I do. But these are the reasons why I haven't ventured into in dynamic loading of content on the forums. I will get around to looking at more closely at some stage.
Edit: Loading content via user action is fine btw. As long it's instigated by a human and performs a single request I have no problem with that. Example is importing clan members in custom posts settings.

Thanks for the information indecent, that does sound like a feature i'd use if it's introduced
