[How To?] How to move post control to the top?

[8guawong]

Have you tried what chack suggested? If so, what's happening? Does the div show up? Are the buttons responsive? Please elaborate.

here is what is happening with chack's edit

In the default MyBB theme? I don't see one. 
In fact, I don't see one in my custom theme. The Reply button is at the bottom as usual.

Lol.
There is one on top and bottom.

Paste this..

<div class="post_controls">
	<div class="postbit_buttons author_buttons float_left">
		{$post['button_email']}{$post['button_pm']}{$post['button_www']}{$post['button_find']}{$post['button_rep']}
	</div>
	<div class="postbit_buttons post_management_buttons float_right">
		{$post['button_edit']}{$post['button_quickdelete']}{$post['button_quickrestore']}{$post['button_quote']}{$post['button_multiquote']}{$post['button_report']}{$post['button_warn']}{$post['button_purgespammer']}{$post['button_reply_pm']}{$post['button_replyall_pm']}{$post['button_forward_pm']}{$post['button_delete_pm']}
	</div>
</div>

After

<div class="author_statistics">
		{$post['user_details']}
	</div>

If you have a custom theme may require some css, If you need help shoot me a PM with test account.
Should look like this https://i.imgur.com/1aZcyW6.png

like i stated above i'm using the classic post layout
here is what it looks like with your suggestion

   

i've played around with the placement of the post control button code and the best i've got is


   

what my postbit_classic looks like

{$ignore_bit}{$deleted_bit}

That black Reply button is to reply to the THREAD, not to a specific post.
Those are 2 different types of Reply buttons.

Fine, do whatever you want. Just pointing out the obvious.
