unable to reply to provider ads

I am having trouble, when I click on reply to a providers ad, I am getting a message saying I do not have access to do this. I have premium access and have never had this issue before

Male members have not been allowed to reply to provider's ads from the beginning, so the site is working the way it is intended if you get a denial when attempting to reply. No ad is supposed to have any replies at all.

If you are referring to the Welcome and Introductions forum, then everyone can reply to those. Make sure that you are in the right forum as they are next to each other.
