At the top of the screen, you should see the "post is awaiting moderation" note. Not long ago, we had a spammer work very hard on posting into our forums, so we had no choice but to be more restrictive for now. We're reviewing options internally on how we want to update our forums to prevent that, but without being so restrictive. We'll be updating for that as soon as we can.

I eventually figured this out - the notice isn't obvious. We developers are spoiled by StackExchange such that we expect everything to match up to that these days! :D
