If I click on "Reply" to his response to my new thread I am told that I can't as I have less than 5 posts. Also, I am not allowed to link to my car photos in Photobucket. How bleep silly.

It's to stop problem postings - like some we've had in the past - in huge quantities from certain users.

If you are a genuine member, 5 posts shouldn't be a problem to you ;)
