I found Thottbot's listing of this to be better displayed.

Though they are still somewhat lacking in real information in most cases. It also is not that hard to just look for the tiny Blizzard symbol on the left hand column to know which threads that they posted in.
The problem is if informtion is needed on something that is not the frequently or might have an answer buried in a non-obvious thread. For Example, I had a problem with a quest earlier today, so I '/bugged' it and needed to tend to some real life concerns. Checking through the forums when I came back to see if there were others having the same problem or not could be near useless to know if my problem had been just a temporary situation, chronic problem with a workaround or if it was near permanent (like the Black Fathom Relics; works once per server reset). Most of these situations might have only been reponded to weeks ago or only by a GM in the game. Lots of luck in finding an answer about it then. P.S. I did get lucky and saw the answer on front page thread that was only marginally on the same topic, the quest looks SOL til the next reset.
This is the type of matter that could really benefit from some sort of search feature.
