Why does it say Registered users only for a reply when you must sign in to reply?

because when u sign up you get a registration sent to your email, so u have to click a link to activate your account !!! but u can't still sign into the forum with out activating your account

That's correct.  Although guest posting is disabled here it can be enabled.  The "Registered users only" note appears next to anything that the guest can't use, but registered users can...fairly obviously.

What? How can you activate guest posting? Can't only admins do that?

Of course only admins can do it. Guest posting will not be enabled here... we have enough spam already.

Many parts of the board are designed with guests in mind, simply because it's possible to allow them to do stuff.
