>> "Tree" view is workable on small sites running software like UltimateBBS and vBulletin, but on a very large site, the branches end up so numerous that it's unmanageable.

I actually thought of that. I think the solution is to simplify the program and prune the tree. Display a multi-branch node with all child links (instead of a single generic "5-replies" link actually display 5 single links) Then continue with the main branch (first answer to the post). Users then have the option to fallow up on other branches via another "read the conversation" link.

What do you think?
