I have 26 reputation points. When I go to a chat room, it says I have to have a reputation of at least 20 to talk. Why can't I post in the chat room, then? 

I asked a question about a JavaScript problem, and I think it may have gotten buried. I attempted to go to the JavaScript chat room, and it appears I cannot post there either.
