Today, a newly opened topic reply has a new "Topic" dropdown at the top of the reply, with only one entry, "Reply as linked Topic". As well, this message box I'm typing a new topic within has a similar dropdown, but it's sole entry is "Create new personal message", despite being titled properly as "Create topic". Huh? Is this new, or have I been sleeping recently? ---

I did observe the same; see point #2 in [Redesigned post composer - #2 by sterretje](https://forum.arduino.cc/t/redesigned-post-composer/1455786/2) (from 2 weeks ago). The new composer is now implemented for all users and what you did observe might be a result of that change. But I might have been sleeping as well in the past 🙂 ---

> [@xfpd](#): > > "Reason for editing this reply?" I've seen that. There has always been the option to add a "comment" when editing a post; it's now more prominent. The "comment" shows when you check the edit history of a post. ---

The only change introduced by the composer redesign was the removal of the border. Here is how it looked before the composer redesign: ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/arduino/original/4X/f/b/b/fbb83a990d6c461e0883725e6dacbc9b3ad6cc91.png) > [@xfpd](#): > > when editing an old reply, a popup asks, "Reason for editing this reply?" Previously the post edit reason field was opened by clicking a **ⓘ** icon. I'm not surprised if you never noticed it, as it was quite subtle. The new edit reason UI design was part of [the same set of changes that made the post type menu more visible](https://meta.discourse.org/t/introducing-a-new-post-type-composer-actions-dropdown/403635).
