With the new iOSGods update, you can now easily create new topics no matter which section/place/screen you're in! You probably have noticed the new "+Create" dropdown button on your PC and the "Start New Topic" button your your iDevice.
Desktop
Mobile
To easily start a new topic, click the button, select which forum you'd like to start it in and you will automatically be presented with the page where you enter your topic's content and title.
This is a very simple but useful feature!
Note
On iOS, you can only use the button to create a new topic, not a status update. And also the button is only available on board index. On your PC, the +Create button is available everywhere.
