...but can't post on the appropriate thread for some reason

your permissions seem fine, where can't you post forum/threadname?

The "New!!! User Account policy" is the only thread that i can't reply to, it says its locked... Not a big deal i guess so long as everything else is fine.

ok thought it might be something like that, it's unlocked now. A while back spanbots got ahold opf that thread id and were able to post without registering. I'll test the waters so to speak by unlocking it
