A lot of people come and post bugs, but then they never bother with the search tool, or they post a bug, which has a thread in the Beta Testing forum.

Perhaps a person "high up" could maintain a stickied list of bugs?

Good idea...

Although it's like another case of fixing stuff with half solutions for problems which could have been prevented in the first place.

Maybe we could all report threads/posts better and more frequently, and maybe similar bug threads could be merged (more quickly before they end up as copies of eachother), and maybe threads which aren't about actual bugs could be moved to "General Talk" or "Help & Support"... no need for a list in that case...
