Unable to reply to thread

[Slartibartfast]

Are new users meant to be able to reply in threads?

It seems I can create new threads but not reply to threads (even threads I actually created).

I just get clicking the 'reply' button at the bottom of the page I get:

You do not have permission to access this page. This could be because of one of the following reasons:

    1. Your account has either been suspended or you have been banned from accessing this resource.
    2. You do not have permission to access this page. Are you trying to access administrative pages or a resource that you shouldn't be? Check in the forum rules that you are allowed to perform this action.
    3. Your account may still be awaiting activation or moderation. (Resend Activation Code)
    4. You have accessed this page directly rather than using appropriate forms or link.

Is that normal?

Give it another try. It looks like your account was not activated.
