Hi all, I have some questions about this forum. 1. How to edit a post ? 2. How to edit a reply ? 3. How to add some code(mostly D code) in posts & replies. 4. How to add an image in posts & replies. 5. Is there a feature to mark my post as "[SOLVED]" ? |

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.

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.

How to add an image in posts & replies. You can't embed images directly. I'd recommend uploading your image to a hosting site like imgur and pasting the link into your post. > 5. Is there a feature to mark my post as "[SOLVED]" ? No. If you're wondering why these limitations exist, it's because this forum is actually a web interface for the D mailing lists [1]. You can't edit email after it's been sent, so you can't edit your posts here either. [1] https://forum.dlang.org/help#about |

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. |

Both the forums and the mailing lists are interfaces to newsgroups at news.digitalmars.com.
