POST ACTIONS: Above or below

SEE SCREENSHOTS BELOW.

So this is something that I'd been thinking about for a while, but I think it's enough of a UX change that I wanted to run this by you first.

The "post actions" (bulb, quote, edit, etc. ) are all located on top of the post, next to the title. From a hierarchical perspective this is Incorrect UXTM, because you're seeing the actions you can take on a post before seeing the post itself. However, that said, the Status Quo is a thing. SO: the question is, should I change it?

ABOVE


BELOW


I will go with the vote on this one.

Agent (gobble, gobble) Coop:
As above, so below

moooo566 (taylor's version):
I reckon move them below.

It'll take a bit of getting used to but it's probably best, it is kind of annoying when you run into one of the (admittedly fairly infrequent) posts that are longer than one screen and then I have to scroll up to find them.

edit: actually having read other people's arguments ive decided im wrong as usual

Victor Laszlo:
I feel like the buttons being on top mimics the standard experience in browsers and other programs(Word, Excel, Photoshop) where the action buttons are at the top of the screen.  I also like that they're on the same line as the post title, it helps me be certain which post I'm interacting with.

Of course I'm usually in the minority when it comes to opinions on how things should be.

Boots Raingear:
I think I like the post actions below but I really don't like the bulb icon and count below.
