please help still not able to post new thread

Hello,
I have never been able to post a new thread on the message board, I always get a message stating I have to post 15 or more in order to post to outside URL which I don't understand anyway b/c I'm just trying to post on the board. My total post only says 6 but I've replied posted like 25 time on the off topic chit chat board "perky cysters" when I ran a search on my posts they come up but the total stays 6. I don't understand what is wrong and why I can't post a new thread. My posting rules at the bottom say I should be able to post a new thread. Please help me figure out what the problem is. Thanks so much!

Several forums (ie Buddies and Games) do not increase post count.

Your post count doesn't update as soon as you post. The board updates periodically. I don't know what the interval is, but I know it's not 'instant'.
From time to time when there are server problems, or the techs are working on the server (as they have been for the past 5 days, as posted in ASK KAT), post count may be effected. Please check ASK KAT or BOARD FUNCTIONS before asking a question to see if it's already been asked and answered.
Points and post counts for each forum are listed in the lower left hand corner of each forum
Over the next few weeks, I'll probably be adjusting points. For instance, I'll probably award higher points for reading RESEARCH ARTICLES.

All I can think is that once your "post count" updates itself, you'll be able to post more.
