Trouble replying to messages on account

Dear Community,

 

I recently signed back in after a period of being in ICU and went to reply to a thread posted quite a while ago.

 

I have signed in and then gone to the top to reply - gave the responder a Kudo as it was a great response too.

 

Has there been any changes or could it be the moderators that restricted my access. 

 

I know that some of the images have to wait verification prior to posting on this forum and I am just wondering if someone  can clarify what actions I can take.
