Have a look at the default roles in the permissions page. Are they all set to no as well?
Bottom of the menu, pick a forum and then scroll to the very bottom to see what the roles are set on.
sorry, what exactly do you want to see? not clear.

Looking at your last image something isn’t right there, I’ve just checked a standard install and that page should be all yes except can lock own topics which is set to no. Are you able to revert? If so I can only suggest you revert (try it on a desktop machine using XAMP etc. if you like) but do it in increments, 3.0> 3.1 using file replacement, check if it’s ok and if it is you should then be able to go straight to 3.3.
Older versions of phpBB can be found
here.
yeah i thought about maybe just doing a clean install then trying to restore users and posts to the relevant tables. but having difficulty extracting the backup i made (via phpBB) prior to upgrade. even though it's .sql.gz, everything i try tells me it's not a gzip format/archive. ugh. but, theoretically, the users and posts are still in a table somewhere. i could make a new backup of the relevant tables, do a clean install, then dump the contents back into the relevant tables...
