Like Dropbox https://www.dropboxforum.com/hc/communities/public/questions
we would like to include a button at top right of forum page to post a question or idea.

Topic options would be provided as a dropdown list for the user to select from.

The user would provide title of question or idea and more details if required.
Title and topic would be required fields, more details would be optional.
