Debate- I can't post

Can somebody help me?? I am supposed to post my opening statement in the debate forum and I continually get the message "you do not have permission to post in this forum". Nice, huh?
The Subject of the forum includes my name and yes I am logged in otherwise I couldn't post this. Help please.

I think you have to be a fighter to post in the debate forum. Since you aren't and I am guessing it is your first debate, I think someone has to clear you to get in.

Yes under the "who can post" it says Fighters fighters
I thought this would have changed since I was accepted into the debate. Still a little early I am sure they will clear it up. Thanks tho

I did change everyones status.However I spelt your name with a Capital M.Hence the mix up.

All is good John bull1, thanks.
