vbulletin.org vs vbulletin.com

[TObject]

After I registered on vbulletin.org forums, I can not post in some areas of this bulletin board. I get:

You do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:
If you are a registered member and a vBulletin customer, please add your username to this form to be able to access certain resticted areas on this site!...

in order to use and post in certain forums at vBulletin.org you need to

1. register using the same username and email address you used at vBulletin.com's forums
2. activate and confirm your registration email
3. then enter your forum username at http://www.vbulletin.com/members/vbulletin.org.php

That part worked. But after I did that, I lost ability to post on some areas of this board (vbulletin.com).

Maybe after I entered the information to http://www.vbulletin.com/members/vbulletin.org.php it overrode, whatever I there entered before for this forum?..

I was not aware that I had to use the same e-mail address for both boards. I may have used the different e-mail addresses.

What should I do to fix this?

You are showing up as licensed here. What areas of this forum can't you post in? There are some forums, like 'Bugs' for instance, that only Mods can post a new thread in.

I couldn't post to the "vBulletin Hints and Tips" section.

Reply or new thread? I'm pretty sure only Mods can move a thread or start a new thread there.

I was trying to post a new thread.

That would be why then! :)

Silly me!
Come to think, how do they let guys like me run bulletin boards.

Thanks!
