Hi all,
I have some questions about this forum.
1. How to edit a post ?
No can do :(. Well, moderators can delete posts so you could try
to ask them nicely in some cases but the primary way tends to be
the same as with email: send a correction message.
And if I recall correctly, this forum is based on some email
system, so even if a moderator deletes something, it'll probably
only be hidden from those that talk via forum.dlang.org - not
from those that use their email.
2. How to edit a reply ?
Same as above.
3. How to add some code(mostly D code) in posts & replies.
Matter of taste. I personally tend to do it like this:
```
void main()
{ import std.stdio;
writeln("hello world!");
}
```
Another good way is to use https://run.dlang.io/ and export your
code as gist from there.
4. How to add an image in posts & replies.
Add it somewhere else and post a link to it.
5. Is there a feature to mark my post as "[SOLVED]" ?
Alas, no.

This is not a forum but a frontend to a mailing list. Since you cant edit sent emails you cant do 1, 2 and 5. if you want to add code then post it in a message if its short. If not try using github gist. Thanks again. But what about the images ?

In few words: This Forum is an interface for mailing lists, you can't do most of these things, I mean not as easy like you do in most Forums (With database to edit content). Personally I prefer this way, because I really hate when people edit their posts, even for good reasons. Matheus.
