Would it be possible to create a pinned thread detailing how to create a linked thread? I never can remember how to do it, so it have to spend 5 minutes trying to search for this.
Like this (which is what came up on a search):
> [@So if Trump wins- do you arm yourself?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/so-if-trump-wins-do-you-arm-yourself/1003591/55):
>
> **To create a linked thread, do this:**
>
> Click Reply, in the upper left corner of the reply window is the reply type button, _looks like a curving arrow point to the right_.
>
> Choose **Reply as linked topic** and it starts a new thread. As an example, you can choose GD, IMHO or The Pit for it.
>
> That is actually the best method.
