Use the post URL instead of the thread URL. IE,
this or
this instead of
this or
this.
If you look in defaults.ini (see the personal.ini tab) and look in the [base_xenforoforum] section, there are some other settings you might be interested in. And you can change settings for individual stories by putting sections in personal.ini with the story URL(short form), for example, I have:
Code:

always_include_first_post:true
first_post_title:A Bit of Background

I've looked at that a couple times and thrown my hands up each time. The forum paradigm (without threadmarks or an index post) is significantly different from the story & chapters paradigm FanFicFare uses. Should posts be chapters? Or pages?
And then there's the issue of over-use; because inevitably someone(s) would decide to use it to archive the entirety of all their favorite long discussion threads. If enough people start doing that, it's likely to use significant server resources, drawing attention from the admins and possibly prompting them to block the tool.
