I have a suspicion that the "did not play online" is the part that is at fault - is there any chance you can try that to see if it corrects things? (if so, it might take an hour or three to show).
Is this true for the rest of you as well?
For tying the games to your profile, if they show as listed under the "Games" section of your profile, you *should be ok. If they don't show, it would be a symptom of the issue you've already reported (not being able to post).
As a seperate note, for those of you who don't have them, but did play online, you will need to manually link to your BSN profiles for each title, under the "My Settings" section of your profile in order for the icons to appear. That should not affect access to forums, however.
