While I agree that the location of the “reply as new topic” button is [not very intuitive](https://meta.discourse.org/t/is-there-reply-as-new-topic/57901/4), I do miss it in the mobile UI now that the 🔗 button no longer triggers a modal but Android’s Share menu.
Am I missing something or is there no more “reply as new topic” button on mobile?

Okay, that’s good to know. But in terms of discoverability, I’d say things are getting worse here. So I’m looking forward to when this will be implemented:

> No, the earlier UI proposal is better. For advanced users the reply glyph at upper right could become a button that lets you select the “type” of reply: Still a big fan of @DeanMarkTaylor’s idea here.
