No effect at all.

Interestingly, in the settings, with all of the **post menu hidden items** selected to be hidden (including the **edit** button), the **edit** button still does appear (and all alone) but only on the Reply (non-Topic) posts.

So, with these settings…

This is what a Topic with one Reply Post looks like…

I actually appreciate that the Edit button cannot be hidden for Replies. Maybe a note should be made to reference that fact in the Settings, and the Edit button should be disabled from being disabled.
