Does this happen to you all the time?
This exact thing happens to me every now and then. There was a period a while back when it happened frequently. Sometimes I would log out, close IE, reopen, and log back in again would fix it. Sometimes a reboot did it. Both solutions didn't work all the time.
Lol! Sometimes I would give up and think that it just wasn't meant to be and with me sometimes that's probably not a bad thing!
In a day or two the option would be back again.
Could be related to the brand of browser? I only use IE.
I'm also wondering if it's a glitch in the forum system relating particularly to rights of a new member whereas it was wrongfully kicks in not to give you that right, although I'm not absolutely sure all of what rights new members have and don't have. I do know that rights come with time or in length of membership. I know you're a long-time member.
Anywho, it happens to me every now and then. Just wondering if you got it resolved.
Does this happen to any other members by any chance?
