You obviously know how to navigate forums, or you wouldn't be here. This is common sense but I ACTUALLY had someone ask me how to use forums. So here it is:
-To make a new thread, click the "new thread" button. A thread is a more specific topic to the board you're in's topic.
-To make a new post, either type it in in the "Quick Reply" box on the bottom of the page of a thread, or click "Reply" anywhere on the page of a thread.
-To quote people, click the "Quote" button next to the post you wish to quote. This will automatically fill in the quote code and bring you to a reply box. Don't mess with the stuff it added unless you know what you're doing. Just skip a few lines down from it and type in your answer.
-Notice the "Exalt" and "Smite" buttons near a persons post or in his profile. If you click "Exalt" it will increase the person's karma, and if you click "Smite" their karma will decrease. Karma means nothing except how the rest of the forums view you. Increased karma is good, and decreased karma is bad. Karma does not effect anything else on the forums aside from your karma points.
-To edit your post, click the "Modify" button above the post. You will then be able to change anything you've written. DO NOT press the back button and edit it or it will result in posting a new post.
-To delete your post click the "Delete" button, next to the "Edit" button over the post you wish to delete. I hope you use this feature wisely...
Are we all clear?

you should tell the readers what the modify button does.

you should tell the readers what the modify button does. Modify button modifies? No, that's just silly!
