I think "whole thread" is easier to catch for newcomers, so +1 for that (but keep "flat" as the URL itself.)
I've deployed this change on the system. It will trickle out to the different threads as they expire from the cache.

May be move the link to some more visible place than end of header line, which people usually ignore. I suggest to replace "Thread:" by "Whole Thread:" and make it linkable. Also, add explanation text into ALT tag.
