The discussion revolves around making the “…” (show more) menu open automatically for moderators to avoid extra clicks when managing posts. Sujan seeks a way to have this menu open automatically, and cpradio suggests adjusting the post menu hidden items setting in Admin > Settings, noting it affects all users. vinothkannans clarifies that delete and edit options only appear for original authors, moderators, and admins, and that these can be moved to the visible part of the post menu. Sujan notes they are not an admin and don’t expect this change to be desirable for everyone. Ank asks vinothkannans for guidance on implementation, but vinothkannans explains that the change cannot be limited to admins and mods and will affect all users with edit permissions.
As a moderator I click on the “…” (tooltip “show more”) button below posts (left to Reply) all the time:
Delete a post, edit a post, flag a post - each one takes two clicks.
Is there a way to have this open automatically without the additional click?
If you’re an admin then you can edit “post menu” and “post menu hidden items” site settings to make the change as explained in the above post. But you can’t limit this change only to admins and mods. It will affect post authors and who have the ability to edit others’ posts.
