I submit that the reason people miss what that's for is that it's very
unintuitively named.  What about using "whole thread" instead of "flat"?

("flat" is fine as a component of the resulting URL.  Just not as the
button label.)


That's easy enough to change.  Another option might be "linear"? But I'm guessing what you're trying to convey is especially the whole thread part, rather than the "orientation"?
