sorry....let me clarify:
I edited the postbit template. (and later even the postbit legacy one too just to be sure)
-- when I view the drop down menu for REGISTERED USER the "Edit User" option appears.
-- I view the drop down menu for ADMINISTRATOR or MYSELF the "Edit User" option does NOT appear. :speechless:
unless I have the idea of what it supposed to be happening wrong (a likely possibility...me admin n00b

)
