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.
