 > Having left a review on a plugin I wanted to report a bug, only to find
 no link to create a new thread.
 >
 > After a while, I realised i could scroll down past what I initially
 thought was the bottom of the page, to find a submission form. As you can
 see from attached screenshot, it wasn't clear.

 > A new thread button towards the top would fix this by providing a point
 of action. It need only link to an ID further down the page. I've also
 attached a screenshot of a quick mockup I did in browser, an anchor with
 class button, floated to the right with appropriate margins did it, though
 a container around it for more buttons would be preferable

 See also the screenshots in #wp24517.

 We'd probably add it as a button-looking link that goes to an anchor where
 the form is on the page. That would be enough. Of course, there may be
 reasons *not* to do this, namely: it keeps people from searching/reviewing
 the forums first. Worth discussion.
