#23703: Posting on WordPress.org support forums defaults to wrong version number
occasionally

 When posting to WordPress.org support forums there's a Version field to
 "Select the version of WordPress you are using".

 When the support forum is empty, the value of this field defaults to the
 latest version of WordPress. I believe this is the optimal choice.

 However, when there are posts in the support forum, the value of the
 Version field defaults to the value used in the last support thread that
 is shown on the same page.

 Example from a moment ago:

 1. On http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/events-manager the form to post
 a new support thread defaulted to version 3.5.1. The last support thread
 that was shown on the page was http://wordpress.org/support/topic/page-
 not-found-for-multiple-events-1?replies=6, about version 3.5.1.

 2. I created a new support thread, which pushed all the other support
 threads lower on the page and hid the thread that was previously shown as
 the last one.

 3. The form on http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/events-manager now
 defaulted to version 3.4.2. The last support thread on the page was
 http://wordpress.org/support/topic/disable-scroll-zoom-on-google-
 maps?replies=4, about version 3.4.2.

 The form should always default to the latest WordPress version regardless
 of the versions the previous support tickets are about.
