i want to get a post out on a reliable source (not ebay) of li-ion batteries for acer laptops but can't see a post option in the forum in question - does this mean i have to build up posts here to start posting elsewhere ?? if someone could pop up a link to the rules/restrictions i'd be much appreciative ...

You need to be patient and build your posts slowly (ie: no rubbish fillers) read your welcome message, if you post a link with which you have some affiliation you will be banned.
FYI
That includes linking in your profile.
