Why can't I post a forum topic?

I would try with a different browser. I can't seem to answer questions using Safari, but Firefox works. It probably has to do with the javascript that the button activates.

K, maybe IE or Chrome? FF should work but maybe it's a plug in or a setting that is tripping up the process. Past that I've got nothing. Submit a bug maybe?

Oh. . . well, nvm.

Here's a thought, try your account on someone else's computer. It'll at least confirm that it's a browser issue and not an account issue. Maybe somebody decided they didn't want you mucking about the forums! :P

Make sure you don't have something like NoScript running that will mess it up. Personally I have endured endless pain from trying to do things like credit card transactions online- the systems almost never fail gracefully and say "this script is being blocked", they just get into a broken state and fall apart. You could even try (eughh..) Internet Explorer if all else fails in proper browsers.
