I'm not seeing old icons, but I am seeing a little bit of strange behavior:
- When I click on the poster's name in the upper left corner of a post, I believe I used to get a drop down menu of things I could do like view all posts by that user, visit that user's profile, etc.; now clicking on the poster's name is a no-op. Please reinstate the old behavior.
- When I hover over the new Thanks icon in the lower left corner of a post, there is no text indicating what that icon does. Please add something like "Give thanks to the user who submitted this post".
- When I hover over the new edit/delete post icon in the lower right corner of a post, I see the text "Edit/Delete Unix or Linux Message". To me, that sounds like it will allow me to edit or delete a mail message in my UNIX and Linux Forum mailbox. Consider changing the text to something like "Edit or Delete this post".
- When I hover over the new quick reply icon in the lower right corner of a post, I see the text "Quick reply to Unix / Linux message". To me, that sounds like it will allow me to reply to a mail message in my UNIX and Linux Forum mailbox. Consider changing the text to something like "Reply to this thread without quoting any posts".
- I never understood how multi-quote was supposed to work, but after playing around with it for about an hour this afternoon I think I have figured it out (although there is some inconsistent behavior if I select and deselect some posts for multi-quoting without actually posting a reply). Consider changing the text you see when you hover over the new multi-quote icon in the lower right corner of a post from "Multi-Quote Unix/Linux Message" to something like "Add this post to the list of posts to be Multi-Quoted" (when the post has not been selected) and "Remove this post from list of posts to be Multi-Quoted" (when the post has been selected).
- When I hover over the new quote reply icon in the lower right corner of a post I see the text "Unix or Linux Quote Reply". Consider making this a little bit clearer for new (and experienced) users by changing the text to something like "Quote this post and any posts selected for Multi-Quoting in a Reply to this thread".

SYNOPSIS
blaze-edit [-fpqCPV] [-b directory] [-E editor] id
blaze-edit -h|-v
DESCRIPTION
blaze-edit opens an existing blog post or a page with the specified id in an external text editor. Note that there are several special
forms and placeholders that can be used in the text, and that will be replaced with a proper data when the blog is generated.
Special Forms
<!-- break -->
A mark to delimit a blog post synopsis.
Placeholders
%root%
A relative path to the root directory of the blog.
%home%
A relative path to the index page of the blog.
%page[id]%
A relative path to a page with the supplied id.
%post[id]%
A relative path to a blog post with the supplied id.

OPTIONS

-P, --post
Tells blaze-edit to edit a blog post or blog posts. This is the default option.
-f, --force
Tells blaze-edit to create an empty source file in case it does not already exist. If the core.processor option is enabled, this file
