The few times I've threadsucked, it's more to catch up/skim on large bunches when I've been gone or am behind, and dont' feel like hitting "next" a bunch. I'm more likely to do that in fast moving threads, but sometimes in threads where I've just gotten way behind (like a TV thread where I've caught up on a bunch of eps, but in that case whitefont isn't as much an issue generally).
I'd love if there were some ability to keep the whitefont, or indicate at least that it WAS whitefont (so if I'm skimming I can skim over it, or at least make a little sense in my catching up).
Yeah, I use it from time to time, but it doesn't much matter to me either way.
The context in which I use threadsuck make whitefont/no whitefont irrelevant. In other words, as far as I'm concerned to it either way.
Yeah, my feeling is kinda, if it's a huge pain to do, it's low on my list of "things to prioritize doing". It's a "that'd be nice, I've noticed it once or twice, but it hasn't killed me, just made me momentarily befuddled or spoiled and mostly for something I don't watch or since I was catching up, had already seen"
I'm curious about something-- why are Film and TV discussions "filed" differently when it comes to closed threads?
Every other thread is Closed Threads/Bureaucracy 2: Like Sartre, Only Longer, but closed tv threads are filed
Film and TV Discussions/Closed Film and TV Threads/Buffy 4: Grr. Arrgh.
I notice it because I will unsub to a thread sometimes when I haven't had a chance to watch a show, and it makes it harder to find the thread when I want to resubscribe.

Film and TV Discussion closed threads are a subfolder of the Film and TV Folder. Main folder closed threads are put into a subfolder of the main folder.
I'm not sure how it makes the thread harder to find--shouldn't it make it easier?

I get that, I was just wondering why the Film and TV folders were set up differently
I'm not sure how it makes the thread harder to find--shouldn't it make it easier?
no, because I can skim immediately past any line that starts with "closed", whereas, I have to read into the line for Film and TV. Not a huge deal, just vaguely annoying.
Is it possible that there is something wonky with the Threadsuck option around post 15,000?
I was trying to threadsuck Natter (in order to pretend to at least skim, and not downright skip). I was behind (um, *way* behind) post 15,000, and it threadsucked only until post # 15,000.
I manually (clicking "Next") went past post 15,000, and when I tried to threadsuck then, it sucked from post 15,000 *until* the post that the threadsuck was supposed to begin with.
I repeated it several times, each at a different post # (larger than 15,000), and it happened each time. The first post sucked was 15,000, and the last post sucked was the one which was supposed to be the first.
I have no idea if this is my browser, Natter sticking out its tongue to me for skipping so much, or matzah crumbs creating bugs, though. So I turn to you for help.
