This is a simple yet very important question. Often, we want to edit a post on a forum. Currently, I have to scroll all the way to the bottom of the post, click on the 3 dots and then click the pencil button to edit. This entire process can be cumbersome for very long posts. I think that there should be a faster way to edit a post from the **top** of a post rather than the bottom to avoid scrolling all the way down each time. This pencil icon can be near the top right corner for editing posts quickly or it can be an option that the admin can set from the admin panel to decide if they additionally want to have options in the top of a post. This won’t conflict with the pencil icon that shows what was last edited. That is a orange color. The original pencil icon for editing can remain gray with hover over black. Correct me if there’s an easier way and I’m just missing it. (I can see even in this post however) Thank you --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/editing-a-post-quickly/286289)._
