I wonder whether it might be worth posters creating a "Topics that you probably want to find in this particular board" post, complete with links to the aforementioned topics.
It would have to be re-created as a new thread every so often (once there have been quite a few new threads posted) as this clunky forum design will inevitably sink the new thread down, down, down to the bottom of the sea-bed, buried under the weight of newer threads.
