Where are we supposed to ask about forum features again?

I wanted to know if anyone else misses the old Watch This Post function, and the question reminded me that we're not supposed to put feature requests in Forum Issues. But I forget if or where we were supposed to put them in this cobwebby constellation of forums. Apologies if this is bad etiquette.

p.s. The Create Post button is available in Dev Journal threads but does not seem to function. The button should be hidden or should create a new post in the nearest legitimate area for outside users.

Kryo, can you help me be a better citizen here? Something about the last fortnight has made me sorely pine for Watch This Post.

Forum issues isn't really the optimal place, but it's still the most relevant. I'd at least make it clear in the topic title that it's a request rather than a bug. But on watchlist functionality in particular, AFAIK that has been planned for a return for some time; it's just a low priority.

Just be aware that posts there may not get immediate attention due to recent events.

Your response is good enough for me for now on the specific feature point; I just want it back eventually and appreciate the need to prioritize dev time.

I'm still a little scared of the "iron hand" talk combined with what seemed clear directives to avoid feature requests in that area. Have they considered a clearly low-pri subarea for feature requests? Web site functionality is probably the ultimate in permanent development projects; seems like there should be a permanent area for self-appointed "beta testers." If nothing else, it could help corral some of the posts that would otherwise clutter Forum Issues or product-specific threads.

Edit: Doh. I didn't know about Andrew leaving and wrote above before thinking to follow your link. Never mind?
