"New Topic" button on tag results page?

Add "New Topic" button in full page search view

I hypothesise that when a user makes a search, especially when drilled down into a specific category, the user wants quick access to the “New Topic” button, in case the search does not return the desired results. This just happened to me when I was checking to see if a bug I wanted to report already existed. When my search turned out to be fruitless, the next natural step was to make a new topic, but in order to do that I had to jump back to the index page, click “New Topic” and select the Bugs…

We had some users browsing tags and asked why there wasn’t a “New Topic” button on a tag list page (such as this one). It might help to prevent tag proliferation and encourage use of existing tags.

Similar to new topics created from a category listing page, this button would pre-populate the relevant tag in the composer window.

Sure, maybe you can slot this in since you are working in this area @neil? Low pri though.

How about the option of sticky topics/threads for tags too? Or somewhere to put a description?

Eventually we will get to it, but it’s a fairly complex change
