Look in the upper right corner, if it says "Welcome, [your user name]."

Then you are actually logged in. From there look at a picture and see if there is a comment button. If not there, go to a couple different pictures from different users. There is the option when a picture is uploaded so there is no comments section.

If there is no comments section on any of the photos, then there is a problem.

As for if you paid your dues, the forum software doesn't know if you did or not, it doesn't talk to the mothership. If you can get to the bylaws discussion sub=forum, then you are setup as a member. Or you can go to your profile, edit your profile and see if your member number is in the profile. If not, you almost for sure aren't setup as an AAW member
