There's no way to "open" all the messages in the threads right now, but as we speak I am working on a new version of the forum that I hope to have online in a few days. I haven't done it yet, but I plan to add a feature to expand the entire thread at once instead of opening the replies one at a time. This will be optional, though, so those that like the current approach will be able to continue using it in that fashion.
