I've probably mentioned this before but I think part of the reason some newbies find it hard to find the required answers is how long some threads become and especially because the same thread will cover different versions of the same hack - so an earlier bug may have been fixed in a later version but you have to read through all of the thread to work that out. (I've done this myself - read through a long thread, missed one particular post that addressed the problem I had and have to be pointed back to the original answer - that's not laziness it's just in an 18 page thread you do tend to miss things!)
I suggested it before but perhaps allow the hack poster to mark posts as "answered" or somehow otherwise collapse all the responses to previous versions.
Or perhaps have it so that each new version of a hack starts a new "sub thread"? That way people only need to read through the content that is relevant to the current release?
