As I said before, threads with lots of people talking about a bug are often actually a mish-mash of different issues, and they all get confused together making it even harder to do anything about it.
Besides, it is impossible to do anything unless we have a sample project and reliable steps to reproduce the issue. So even with a thread with lots of people who really are talking about the same issue, there's usually nothing that can be done until that information is provided.
The bug report guidelines on the issue tracker are specifically designed to solve both problems.
