Would it be great if we can move the create new topic button to the top and make it already completely visible?  
That everybody could see for example this:

and then a dropdown for more info just like now the ‘create a new topic’ on the bottom  
that’s a few less clicks 😉

That’s how it works already, visit any category and you’ll see the new topic button at the top.

You can disable that part of the material design theme via CSS or you can install this component:

I have no idea how it works associated to the material design theme, it’s a nice experiment to do 😉.
