Split topic, viewing more text

Split topic view
I was just moving a few things around on our board (vb 3.0.5), and needed to split a topic. When I went to the page for doing this, I couldn't easily tell which posts to move where, since a number of them had quoted the previous user, and the text was too truncated to see beyond the quoting. This meant I needed to open a second window and compare post times to make these edits.

My question is, can the quoted text in the "split topic" page be made longer to avoid this sort of thing? If so, where should I look for that?
Thanks, and help gratefuly accepted.
