Will there be some sort of update to this forum that allows me to post for games that I have just started playing like dragon age origin. I can register the game at the old forum but it doesn't appear to update to this one. And if that is the case, what happens with other games purchased as they come out? Not being able to post keeps you from asking questions about things that might be helpful in the game.
Can't post with game registered

If your game is registered, and you've played online, you should see it listed in your profile under your "Games" section. Having it registered at the old forum won't directly affect this forum at all, as they check for different things. This forum won't automatically show game icons for example, unless you manually link them to your profiles on the old BSN (under your Settings section in your profile).
Regarding new games, everyone should be able to post in the Dragon Age : Inquisition forums for now - once that game comes out, more strict restrictions might be added, but I wouldn't expect anything beyond what we already have for DA:O, ME3 or other titles.

As you noted, the icons are completely separate from the ability to post - all they provide is a link to your account profile for those games, in the event you want to share your DA character, ME3 MP loadout, or other information.
By registered and online, you should just have had to have played once, while connected to the internet, and signed into your origin account. The games should prompt you for your account information when you first start them - once you've played online once, you should be fine for the future.
Steam users should be fine, as you would still be prompted for your EA account info when you launch the games for the first time from that service. It's also why ME1 and other earlier titles aren't in the list you posted, since there's no online component to track against or sign in with for those titles.
For people without internet and who have never played online as a result, it's something being looked at, but I don't know of any specific plan or ETA for changes to be made in their case.

It should only take a few hours for the new data to show here once you've played online, and it should be checking for new player data as well (both the old forums and the new ones use the same account).
I took the liberty of checking your account on the old BSN (I assume you're using the same account name), and while I see you registered Dragon Age: Origins, I don't see an account linked for characters on that site, which should be showing once you've played online.
It *might* be tied to having created a character while online (I'm not as familiar with the DA:O title specifically) but my understanding is that it should simply show there once you've played the game, signed into Origin in-game. It could be that the DA character servers are down - is there an option to "Activate Online Profile" or something similar for you on the old BSN games page when you view it? I had to click that once for my copy of DA2, long ago, before my account info would become in-sync.

That might be related, depending on what exactly those servers track for our telemetry data, vs. other servers.
In either case, I have an open bug about the issue reported in the other thread, and some other work for cases of specific users having this problem is still underway as well.
