Looking for help with long thread.

Question
-
1. In a particular long thread, I always get "Microsoft.com is not responding due to long-running script" when I try do scroll down initially. http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/879477c2-54e3-487f-8d47-fcaa62180cd7/quote-servers-serving-microsoft-money-gone?forum=money-bit with 4 GB of RAM.
2. I am a moderator in that forum, and am trying to split that thread. I described the problem and have asked for help in the Administrators and Moderators> Moderator’s Forum
There is not much action in that forum. Maybe I should have asked for that help on this forum. I would appreciate the help of an administrator in splitting that thread.

We've got it earmarked for addressing in a few weeks Cal. I'll keep this thread updated when the issue is resolved. Not a scenario we want to keep in this state for too long. Thanks for bringing it to our attention

Thanks. I went ahead and locked the thread. I have hope that I could later unlock it, and split it up. I had to use a non-IE browser to do the locking.

Hi,
If you don't get a reply from one of the admins here, you can try sending an email to fissues (at) microsoft [dot] com with a link to the thread and an explanation if what you're looking to do.

I think the web interface should split a long thread automatically, only show the first 30 or 50 replies, and provide a "Show more replies" button.

I am looking forward to it. I may just try to close that thread before success at splitting, but that has some disadvantages. If the rectifying can't happen, that will be the best available option I think.

That's a really long thread! It kept loading for me before it even got to the script error, and I gave up and closed it. I think you have the right idea for the workaround until the bug can be permanently fixed... start a new thread, link to it from the old thread, and lock the old thread.

Thanks Ed. I am still hoping Jah OSullivan has some success with it.
It would be nice if that thread accidentally serves as an instance that a developer could use to identify a fix that would help forum performance for all.
Closing the thread is an option, (presuming that works). However there is enough really useful info on the thread that I wish I could split it.
