I keep seeing references to the ability to reply to a topic by creating another topic, but I can’t find the UI that would actually let me do that. It looks like it was a menu option when clicking on the dots at some point, but now that it brings up a bunch of icons, I don’t see reply as topic there …

Click on the timestamp or the share (chain link) icon on a post, then look for the New Topic button. [image] One the editor is open, you can also select reply as new topic from the reply selector arrow at upper left: [image]
