User Guide
[MC] Thread Split automatically splits long-running threads into a chain of parts when configurable thresholds are reached, and gives moderators tools to do the same job by hand. It is designed for live discussion threads, megathreads, and any forum where conversations grow past the point where a single thread is comfortable to follow.
This guide covers installation, the concepts (chains, parts, thresholds, split modes), every option on the AdminCP options page, per-forum and per-thread overrides, the user and moderator permissions, and an alphabetical reference.

Versioning
Always back up the database before upgrading. Thread chains are stored in their own tables; schema upgrades that touch them ship with migration notes.
