Okay, I'm possibly the slowest kid on the block, but did I really never know until now that when you threadsuck, it exposes whitefont? Is there a way to, you know, not do that?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
There is a way not to do that, but we need to work out what we're breaking for other people first.
Also, a reminder, Bugtracker in the thread header is for feature requests. If you're serious about it, please put it there, because otherwise I end up with a soup of confusing bookmarks from this thread, and other people can't see what's been requested/reported.

I will make a suggestion in the Bugtracker! I just wanted to be sure I wasn't missing something obvious first...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am sometimes suprised (and spoiled) by accidentally reading the whitefont in a threadsuck, but generally I only suck Natter, and the level of spoilage is pretty low in there, even in whitefont.

I bring it up because I got spoiled for FNL in an oblique way (and a long-term one, as I am not currently caught up on the show, but plan to watch on DVD) in Natter. It took me reading several posts to even realize what people were talking about was originally whitefonted.
(See above re: sometimes I'm kind of slow.)

Only threadsuck stuff when I'm looking for a specific post, so I grab the thread then use Find to find the relevant phrase.

If there are people who want it the way it is, things become more complicated.
I'm going to leave the question open for a bit, since threadsuckers aren't necessarily around a lot.

I have been spoiled before, but I've gotten progressively less spoiler averse since joining the board... and, frankly, the aging that's happened since then, because I forget shit all the damn time anyway.
So, I would not object if we changed it so that white font actually stayed whitefont (or didn't change it). But it would definitely still work for me if you did change it so that white font stayed white font.
I don't thread suck often enough to really have a horse in the race, though.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I suck rarely and do it like connie does -- to track down something I sortakinda remember, not as my primary thread reading.
