How do I edit or delete a post?

Post #1

Copied from FAQ

Unless you are the board admin or forum moderator you can only edit or delete your own posts. You can edit a post (sometimes for only a limited time after it was made) by clicking the edit button for the relevant post. If someone has already replied to the post, you will find a small piece of text output below the post when you return to the topic that lists the number of times you edited it. This will only appear if no one has replied; it also will not appear if moderators or administrators edit the post (they should leave a message saying what they altered and why). Please note that normal users cannot delete a post once someone has replied.

Does this apply to the OP if I am the author? I looked all over and didn't see any edit button.

Well at any rate, could you delete my thread in science & religion named "why so much pain". thanks.

It still applies to the OP.
