Replying to your your complete post. Even the off-topic parts.
There also is a issue with forum summary for collapsing or expanding categories unless you use a dark theme the image to click on has no contrast to view.
Unless you know where to hover to. But it is a up down arrow.
The toggle_closed.gif is a white GIF. This is why it is not visible on white background, hardly visible on light backgrounds, and easy to view on dark backgrounds.
The gif should probably be replaced with a FontAwesome text character so that it matches the rest of the text.
Plus if you are going to move some of the post options to the chevron why not move all. Then place it where those buttons are now in the lower right.
Instead of a new location on the top right that nobody is aware of.
Because EDIT, REPLY, QUOTE, and LIKE are not sharing options. The "Post Share" menu should only contain items related to sharing. Such as sharing the post to a moderator who can be alerted that you have a concern about it. This is useful in the event that you dont have moderators, or that your current moderators have not read everything, or that your current moderators have found nothing wrong with the post when they first read it and felt like they didnt need to modify it or comment/reply to it later in the thread.
A few of the other items that live in that Post Share menu are Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, Email, Clipboard.
Anyway if you wish to use font awesome icons why not change to say a Plus Minus or Hamburger (bars icon) to open close the menu.
Most people know what that means I think. if they have been using a mobile device.
Using that usb icon instead of the chevron is still confusing to me anyway.
Using a PLUS / MINUS (Accordion) is not consistent with Drop-Down Menu icons. Also, a bars (hamburger menu) icon is usually reserved for main program/app menus. It is not a drop-down element options menu icon.
The Share and USB icons are not the same.
Share Icon:

Whatever you decide on it should be consistent with any area that allows you to expand and collapse like the forum summary categories.
As you have probably already noticed, that has been one of the goals I have kept working toward each time i sit down to work on the UBB.threads software. Constant fixes to what was written before I offered my time with it. And constant hard work to keep it current and competitive. As a group, we interact with each other quickly and come of with solutions, even if we dont see eye to eye on everything. We reach a compromise and continue to move forward.
Cheers
