Uh, I still can't start threads in the Announcements group.

I pointed out the problem back when DU3 was still in testing mode

And this is still not fixed!

And I don't want to hear it's not a bug: it's a feature

ohh, you aren't an administrator and thus "Only Administrators can start new discussion threads in this group" does not apply? Never mind....

Perhaps a post in Meta would be more useful?

That's what that forum is for.

If you want to make an announcement, put it in GD.
