John~
You can talk all you like in any of the forums for free~ it appears you are already a registered user and thats all thats required for talking
If you would like to sell anything then you need to purchase a subscription~ it took me a few min to find the paid subscription table (Rich~ maybe you could make the table easier to find?) so rather than describe how I found it~ here is a link

Just pick out the membership level that gives you what you want for the price your willing to pay~ go to your user CP (up top on the left) and go to paid subscriptions to buy the level you want.
Hope that helps
