Hi!

I think there is some problem with users permissions and roles.
A few days ago I installed the forum version 3.3.1 (I believe is the only one currently supporting Castillian ES language translation).
I've registered as new user in the user site, but when I login I can´t write in the forum, I don´t see "New topic" or "New reply" buttons, only can write in the forum logged in as admin. I´ts funny because I did not change anything in de users/roles default configuration.

¿Does anybody nknow why this happens? ¿Is it a bug? ¿Should I need to upgrade to 3.3.4, but then, would esl_ES as default language still work??

Also, I noticed there are only 3 roles by default (admin, anonymous and guest) but 4 user groups (admin, anonymous, guest and Editor). ¿Maybe I´m missing Editor role?? ¿Should I edit user/role permissions? and if so ¿How do you do that?

I couldn´t find any help about this in the online documentation. Please, if anybody could give me a little light on this one.... Please, I would really apreciate your help!!
