Hello!

This is expected behaviour: Horizon is an opinionated theme and we removed the create-topic button from its original place (which, depending on your setup can get rather cluttered), to a new prime location at the top of the sidebar:

 ![CleanShot 2025-10-01 at 15.12.15](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/9/b/1/9b124d8de8475742b1bb957cc2b46d98167f7824.jpeg)

On mobile, the sidebar is less easy accessible, so we’re keeping the button there.

This was always the plan, but due to a little error, the topic button made an accidental re-appearance on desktop.
