New post button

Maybe a confirmation should be added when making a new post off of a thread? It seems like a lot of people are clicking "new post" rather than "reply to post" which is cluttering the boards severly. Just a simple message like "Are you sure you want to create a new topic rather than reply to current topic?" Or something like that. Actually now that I think of it, maybe changing the button text from "new post" to "new topic" or "new thread" would help too. As it stands it might confuse someone new to the board.

Yes. That''s a good idea.

Things like that happened to me, when I was new to this board, too.
Or just eliminate the new post from pages like this one.
Kind of the opposite of how Reply to Topic does not appear on the forum pages.
I''m not sure getting rid of the "new post" button is necessary. After all, it seems like a good thing to have if you want move to a new thread because things of gotten off tipic.
I was about to post a topic regarding this subject, but I see it''s already been brought up a month ago.

Soooo... why hasn''t it been done yet?
