How do I merge my posts?
I've seen moderators do this ...
I post a reply. Then a few minutes later add a new post with extra info, new thoughts, etc. How do I subsequently merge them into one post?
Assume I've already posted both, so I can't just edit the first post to add the second thoughts ...
Thanks.

Only moderators can merge posts.
You can either
a) edit the first post to add the information instead of writing a second post.
or
b) Use the "Report Bad Post" icon of the second post (lower left corner, the little triangle) to send an automatic message to the forum moderator(s) in which you can ask the posts be merged.

(a) Edit your first post with the information from the second.
(b) Edit your second post to read "Sorry, mispost" or similar.
(c) Use the RBP icon or e-mail a moderator to delete the second post.
Parts (b) and (c) together will take less time than it took me to write this, unless you go for coffee in between. Part (a) depends on how extensive the edits are, but you may be able to copy and paste part of the second post into the first.
