How to "reply as topic"?

Product Support
1

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 - only things like “like”, “flag”, and “delete”.

Click on the timestamp or the share (chain link) icon on a post, then look for the New Topic button.

One the editor is open, you can also select reply as new topic from the reply selector arrow at upper left:

It’s really tucked away and users rarely find it / use it.

I created these instructions and periodically bump them on my forum:

Yep, we also ended up making a pinned topic in “Site Feedback” on this.

UX만으로는 어떻게 해야 하는지 도저히 모르겠어서 구글로 검색해야 했습니다. 저는 별도 주제를 만들고 싶었는데 말이죠. 이 기능이 가능하다는 것을 보여줄 수 있도록 UI 어피던스를 추가하는 것이 좋을까요? 예를 들어, 답글 버튼이 <- 답글 | ...처럼 보이게 하는 것 같은 거요.
