After trying to implement a fix using only modifcations of existing code, I realized that it wouldn't be possible, within a reasonable amount of time.

So I threw it out the window and wrote my own subroutines to display indexes.

Here's what happens.

When a thread reaches a width of 11 posts, any repsonses on the thread past that point are placed on their own line, as if they are separate threads. This should ensure the forum widths stay at a reasonable size.

When long, 11+ post-width threads get "chopped", they're still 100% intact. You can continue to reply to the threads, and carry on with your life as usual.

However, if threads get wider than that, please follow Darklord's example, and start a new thread. It's easier to read threads that way, anyway. 8)

I swear, spend a few days with the WebBBS scripts and you learn more in that time than some do in a lifetime. It's like going to war and growing up.
