This isn't a bug with MyBB 1.4, it's a bug with the plugin.
You haven't a backup?
Is the image file of the edit button is still exist?
While you view the source, what you see where the edit button should be?
Try to check the template!
UPDATE:
Here is the source of the plugin, so we can look and try to find the problem:
