Google of course won't get past the first post. That is in your favour if it's a good post as often lots of off topic comments further down can dilute the validity of a good topic.

Backlinks, FB likes and tweets to the thread, will also now be valid as at least the thread itself doesn't throw up an error when following a link.

Nice addon, as ever, well done Andy!

How about the option to choose the number of posts, e.g. first xx number of posts?

That would make the site not look like thin content to Google too.
