I separated your post from the Avatar thread, where you posted it, since it didn't really have to do with avatars. Although it would be nice if you uploaded one, there's time for that later. You were able to reply here okay, and replying to any other thread is done in the same way. The forum is set to not allow replies or posting for anyone whose listed age is less than 50, but wouldn't be the problem, unless maybe you hadn't filled in the age part of your profile right away. Anyhow, if you were able to reply to the Avatar thread, you should be able to reply to any of the other threads. Welcome to the forum, by the way. Please don't get discouraged if things aren't working for you. I don't see a reason why you shouldn't be able to reply to posts here, but if you are still unable to, let me know and I'll look into it further.
