I believe you can see "All" up to 25 pages
Yes limit for All is 25 pages.
If replies span more than 25 pages, you will not be able to see all replies on one page.

I always use "All", when I'm coming to a thread for the first time or did not read recent 2 3 pages then I will use view "All"

You can add ;all to topic's main URL

Code:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=xxxx.xx;all

Now, I do not know the value for the x. May be theymos or any other member who noticed it before they will know.

I believe you can see "All" up to 25 pages then it disappears starting from the 26 or 27 page.
Not sure if the x is constant or not but that's what I noticed personally.

Certain threads display a "all" button which shows you all of the replies on one page. This is inconsistent and doesn't always show up. I'm wondering if I can view threads on one page by adding a code to the url?
If the number of pages under x amount then you will see the [All] link next to the page numbers. Like this:


As you can see this post has 6 pages of replies so far: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4104852.0;all <===working since right now it's 6 pages

On the other hand when the pages are too many then you do not see the [All] link.


and even adding ;all value in the url also does not work:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=996318.0;all <===not working since too many pages.

Now, I do not know the value for the x. May be theymos or any other member who noticed it before they will know.

Also would I be able to do the same for a users post history?
- In the post history there are no such feature.


The reason not to use the [All] (when there are too many pages) is...
When you will have too many data to retrieve from a table, the server then uses too much resources which can hang the whole system.
For a web application it might end up time out error (504 status error) in the client side. So, no system administrator will do that poor system design.
