Hey! When I sign into my forum as admin, the button to create a new topic is called “New Topic.” But when I sign in as a user (all users default to trust level of member) the button says “Open Draft” and that is confusing. Is there a way to change?

Okay… weird. I just clicked “Open Draft” and it brought up some partially entered topic. But I’ve never signed in as this person before, so not sure how that would even happen. But once I cancelled that it changed the button to New Topic. Thanks!

Yes, this means you had a draft topic in progress.

Are you using SSO or any other unusual login schemes?
