I take it you didn't read "Known problems of current release."
I think we need to make the sticky threads in 72-point font.
It might help to have ALL current"Known problems of current release" listed.
As it is, the "Known problems of current release" thread was last updated in mid December -- roughly a month and a half ago, and the date showing in the forum listing is mid-November. I think we all know that there are more current bugs than those listed in the "Known problems of current release" thread. If we're expected to take the "Known problems of current release" seriously, shouldn't it at least be kept somewhat current? If we're expected to report bugs, and we deserve more than a flippant response.
Since ~some~ shields can be properly wielded by fenki's, and the shield in question is given for completion of a new fairly new quest, is it really reasonable to assume that the shield in question is covered by the old "known problem"? Perhaps a listing of those shields that cannot be properly wielded is in order.
