new topic and reply buttons

I am pretty new to the forum and one thing that I would change are the "new topic" and the "reply" links (buttons). why? they are too small. I needed a few seconds to find them and that is too long I guess :=)

some other people might not find them at all (some people are too lazy to search for something longer than a second).

so my suggestion: make them bigger or maybe put them in a more "prominent area".  

I'll see about this request. It makes sense.

Okay, I made them visible.

Topic was accepted and this will be locked.
