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:

> [@Topic setting: make reply-to-post button act as "reply as new topic"](https://meta.discourse.org/t/topic-setting-make-reply-to-post-button-act-as-reply-as-new-topic/64840/2):

> 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.
