How about this feature, you know how there is quick edit a post now now? What if instead of having to click that you can just DOUBLE CLICK the post you made and it'll automatically change to a quick edit screen. You could also leave the quick edit feature for people new to the board, but eventually they'd figure out they can just double click their post and edit it that way.

Similar to how you can edit topic descriptions if you're an admin.

Some people use double clicking to highlight text. :)

Some people use click + hold (+drag) to highlight text so that woulnt work (as soon as you release after highlighting it would open the edit window)

I too would much rather access quick edit via a double click, so perhaps a user option would be best.
