Add codes in your theme.php

function q_view_buttons($q_view) {

  if (!empty($q_view['form'])) {

    if(qa_get_logged_in_userid() == $q_view['raw']['userid']) {

      /*

      define('QA_USER_LEVEL_BASIC', 0);

      define('QA_USER_LEVEL_APPROVED', 10);

      define('QA_USER_LEVEL_EXPERT', 20);

      define('QA_USER_LEVEL_EDITOR', 50);

      define('QA_USER_LEVEL_MODERATOR', 80);

      define('QA_USER_LEVEL_ADMIN', 100);

      define('QA_USER_LEVEL_SUPER', 120);

      */

      if(qa_get_logged_in_level() < QA_USER_LEVEL_EXPERT) {

        if(isset($q_view['form']['buttons']['close']))

          unset($q_view['form']['buttons']['close']);

        if(isset($q_view['form']['buttons']['hide']))

          unset($q_view['form']['buttons']['hide']);

      }

    }

  }

  qa_html_theme_base::q_view_buttons($q_view);

}

@polle Upper logic does not consider external user. Because integration program (external user inner Q2A) is weak feature that tends to produce bug, I don't like it.

@sama55: Could you please tell me which exactly file do you mean by "theme.php"?
I added this code to "qa-theme-base.php" and "qa-theme.php" but nothing changed.
BTW, Does this code work for Q2A 1.6.3 at all?

Yes.

If you are using Snow theme, add codes at end (before of last "}" ) of qa-theme/Snow/qa-theme.php. I modified a little codes of christoph.
