Not sure how many times I’ve accidentally archived a PM in the past few months, but it’s a lot. This can’t be intentional when putting the reply button on the right was so much more natural, right?

Same on iPhone 7. Look like the buttons are wrapping. It’s partly due to screen width: go into landscape and you see the button reverts to the right. Perhaps sizes can be tweaked slightly so that happens in portrait and they stop wrapping? … eg the first control looks wider than is necessary for the text it contains?

This is a good question. Why _is_ archive so prominent an action on PMs? It seems wildly disproportionate to how often you’d use it.

Maybe we could convert it to a plain button with no text @awesomerobot

We can just move it into topic controls, it’s a super easy change

Good idea, let’s do that.

@nbianca can you add that to your list?

I’ve moved the archive button into topic controls dropdown (for mobile):
