Sorry, I'm not sure how to edit posts
It's not possible to edit posts. There are multiple interfaces
to this
newsgroup (NNTP, mailing list, and web forum), and the ability
to edit posts
would not work with that. So, replying to your own post with
corrected
information is the best that you can do.
This is why I wish the web interface had never been called a
"forum" in the first place. According to the common usage of that
word on the internet, it isn't. People have certain expectations
of forum software. When newcomers start using the web interface,
they have no idea that it's essentially a web-based newsgroup
client and not an actual web forum that can support all the
features they expect.
This is not the first time I've seen someone lost about how to
edit their "forum" posts.
