Editing Your Post:
To edit your post, click on the edit button on the lower right corner of the post you intend to edit. This will take you to a page that looks similar to the post thread web page (see above), only now your original message will already be in the region to type your message.

Make any changes that you wish. If you do not like the changes you made, you can click on the Reset Message button at the bottom of the page to put your message back to its original form. Once you are done editing your message, click on the Save Changes button at the bottom of the page to update your post. When you submit the change, you will be taken back to the thread. Note that when editing a post, you can no longer attach a file to it. This must be done when first posting.

Deleting Your Post:
To delete your post, click on the edit button on the lower right corner of the post you intend to delete. This will take you to the same page in Step #1 of Posting in the forums - Editing Your Post above.

The first table on the page is called Delete Post. Check the box next to Delete? and click the Delete Now button. Note that if the post you delete is the first message in a thread, deleting this message will delete the entire thread.

Note: This feature is useful if you accidentally make the same post twice. Please be sure to delete the duplicate.
