It was working just fine earlier, but for some reason, after uploading this post https://e621.net/posts/5910009?q=ransomwareprootnsfw a couple minutes ago, I tried to edit the tags, but realise the edit tags button was GONE! Does anyone know what's happened here? Was there some sort of site update?

Thank you! Very helpful, found out how to edit the post :3 Do you know why they moved the edit button down there?

It has always been there IIRC.
For what it's worth, I've always just been hitting the E key to edit tags. I didn't even notice the change. :/

Same, the only, time I've ever tapped the edit buttons is when on mobile, and I avoid editing on mobile at all costs

E621 HAS HOTKEYS?!
They're rebindable too. See here.

tens of thousands of edits without hotkeys? absolutely insane behaviour

There is literally a "Keyboard Shortcuts" link at the bottom of every page, unless you disabled them

I always edit posts with E, but that is pretty much the only hotkey I use.

It might have been but I always used one on left bar, in Options section (Add to pool, add to set, flag, report), there was simple "Edit" in between where now is weird free space.
I'm not complaining BUT e6 staff should definitely communicate this better, ideally by adding article in news (last one is about AV1 support) and/or by mentioning this on Terms & conditions page which I spent like 15 minutes reading before I could even log in. It's not first time they moved something and I spent like 20 minutes searching for it :/
Edit: Or SIMPLY just keep inactive button here for like 2 months, with popup explaining WHERE to find proper Edit button.

A. The ToS popup is a legal document; we're not shoving notifications about updated UI there.
B. The developer who implemented this change genuinely didn't think this would even be noticed; everyone uses the site differently, & they thought people would appreciate not scrolling as far to use the reverse image search links. I'll be adding it back.
C. We already have a dedicated site update thread; we aren't polluting the news feed with trivial UI updates. The news feed is for substantial pieces of information, & as I already said, what was perceived to be a minor UI tweak wouldn't have made the cut, nor could we fit all the changes into it anyways (hence the dedicated thread).
Ngl I was extremely confused and worried that users were suddenly unable to fix tags on posts, I've ALWAYS used that button and didn't know the 'edit' button beside the comment button edited the posts, not comments. They should really put those buttons back, not just to close the gaps, but it makes sense to put all options related to a post and whatnot all in one place.
I'm late to this but I really really dislike not having the edit button in its old place.
On mobile in particular-previously, when you scrolled down to look through the tags, the 'Edit' button next to 'Add to pool/Add to set/Set as avatar' was only a more scrolling down.
Now, I need to scroll down to look at the tags, then scroll back up past them again to get back to where the Edit button is. Which is... just kind of slower and less intuitive for seemingly no reason, it made sense that scrolling down would first reveal the tags and then a button to change them right afterward. Not to mention it just made sense to have it beside the other stuff under 'Options', including 'Edit notes'.
It's kind of a moot point given that you said you'll be adding it back, but it is one of those things where I'm left confused at the rationale. Naturally there would be people who use the 'Edit' button to edit tags!
