How to "reply as topic"?

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.

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.

我也有同样的问题。谢谢。

我不得不去搜索一下,因为我想创建一个独立的话题,但仅从用户体验上无法弄清楚如何操作。或许添加一些界面提示来表明这是可行的会更有意义?例如,回复按钮可以显示为 <- 回复 | ... 之类的样式。
