Description

RSS Link Placement

When visit a forum, for example https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/ the RSS links appear above "Topics", for all individual forums. However, if you enter any of these sections the RSS links appear below the "Topics" links:

Although this has nothing to do with the design of the theme, I wonder if it makes any sense not to maintain consistency in the position of the information.

Title Feeds for RSS Link

I've also noticed that when the RSS links are below "Topics" the "Feeds" title appears, but it doesn't appear when it's above "Topics".

My proposal is to keep the "Feeds" div below the "Topics" links, with its corresponding title, "Feeds".
