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"

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Fixed.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Fixed.

Yay! Thanks.

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.

Swouncing

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.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

15000 was hard coded into the program as a default ending post number if the user left that field blank. I just changed it to 99999 so it should work now. Thanks for discovering that!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I feel like I'm seeing the random quotes be not so random. It's possible that I just spend too much time on the site and am imagining it, but didn't we have a randomizing problem before?
