No wonder I couldn't find it, once you said to look for depth, I did, and it wasn't in Display Settings, where I'd looked already as the logical place for it to be, but it wasn't, so I poked around more, now that I knew what to look for, and found it in 'User Settings', last thing on the page. Set both types, thread header/text to 100, and applied the desired sort order. Might not be the worst idea in the world to add that set of items to the 'Display Settings' page as well, since that's where I looked for it, and where you believed it to be, for good reason, that's where it makes sense for it to be, being related to display of page. Now it shows as expected, thanks.
