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.

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

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.

You can't. If you need to make a correction, the best you can do 
is to make a follow-up post.


 3. How to add some code(mostly D code) in posts & replies.


Copy & paste it.


 4. 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. 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.
