Currently it is necessary to click on "Latest discussions" on main page to access page that allows creation of topic. It is rather poor navigation to hide "add new topic" on page advertised as "Latest discussions". Additionally this additional click necessary to create new thread is a bit irritating. As there is available vertical space maybe adding "new topic" to main page may be a good idea? The only potential downside that I can imagine is that there is minimal risk of somebody blindly typing and pushing button just because it is possible. But I think that it is unlikely.

:You mockup works for me, but it breaks the layout. I'd suggest the headline "Latest discussion" gets changes to "Forum (create topic)", and clicking on (create topic) opens up the box. --[[User:Tjr|Tjr]] ([[User talk:Tjr|talk]]) 11:07, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
