Every post has a small font, light gray row of options:
Reply    Quote    Report    Like!
.
If you want to edit your Post using "Edit Message" because of a typo, forgot to add a link or a picture, or whatever, you have to click on your own subject line to make it the main post on the page. That makes the "Actions" drop down available which has these options: Reply, Quote, Edit Message, Report This Post, Ignore User. Reply, quote, and report are all redundant to the standard small, gray font view.

In the old, better version of the forum software (Classic v. 2), I am positive that "Edit Message" was always accessible on your own posts, regardless of viewing mode, as long as it was less than 4 hours old. I used to edit A LOT. I am pretty sure that "Ignore User" was also under every post, but I'm not positive.

I make many typos and want to edit my posts many times over but the constant need to reload the page and get the Action drop down is a big PITA. Therefore , I suggest:
.
PUT THE "EDIT MESSAGE" AND "IGNORE USER" BUTTONS BACK in the small, gray font underneath every post in every view. Why did TER move them to a drop down in the first place?

(Now to see how many typos I go back to correct.)

Thank you.

...ignore user is button returned nobody would read your posts.
