You click on the flag that appears if your hovers on the post, and then you type a message that is sent to the moderators. One of them might edit it, if it's a reasonable question.

But usually (for example to add information or to change essential info) it's quite OK to add a post to it as an answer. In any case it's faster.

Moderators can now edit and delete a post for members.
