Some forums require you to own the game before you can post in their forums. Do you own the actual game(s)?

I have Deus Ex Human Revolution (not Director's Cut) and I can't post in that forum either. Thanks for your reply.

Do you mind unprivating it so we can take a look and see if it is something obvious?

Done.

Ok you can put it back to private if you want. I didn't see anything that stands out except for the badge area. You bought Deus Ex HR from a third party site correct?

What is the exact error message you are getting when you're trying to post in the game's discussion area?

To access all features of Steam, simply do any of the following on your Steam account: purchase a game from the Steam store (It cannot be a gift for another account), redeem a Steam gift, or complete a microtransaction.
