How to access full post thread editor while editing post?

In summary, the full post thread editor can be accessed by clicking the "Edit" button at the bottom of a post, and it is accessible on any device with internet access. There is no limit to the number of times it can be accessed while editing a post, but it can only be used to edit your own posts. Any changes made in the editor will be saved automatically, but it is recommended to double check and manually save changes before exiting.

I noticed that only certain functions are available in the full post thread editor (the more option button when first starting a new thread), but not when you edit threads that were posted (like paragraphing etc). Is there a reason why?

Just curious ;)

Try tapping the little three-dot thingies in the bar with editing tools, the missing tools will appear.

Apparently, and quite reasonably, that is called a "vertical ellipsis".
