I press the " + Create" button, in the window I choose "Topic"

Presented with a dropdown "Select Forum".

Then, most of the forums are greyed out and thus unavailable.

 

I've logged out and back in, cleared cookies etc to no avail.

 

Any thoughts please.

It seems you are going about it the wrong way, go to the forum you want, then click "start new topic" at top right of the forum.

Thank you @CharlieH

It seems we're both correct but I asked the wrong question!

Your method AND mine both lead to the "Select Forum" dialogue

Where I was (stupidly) confused is that some of the forums appear to be greyed out and unavailable.

That is until I press the carat  > and open into the sub-forum!

So in the example above, I clearly cannot post into "Northern Thailand Forum" but can post into any of the ones below it: Issan, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai etc.

 

So that was my bad (:sorry:

 

BUT....there are some forums that do not let me post, eg under World News > Political Soapbox, I can Create a topic (or "Start New topic" in "The War in Ukraine", but can not create one in "The War in Israel". The latter does not have a "Start New Topic" button at all, but it's not locked so what's the reason for that, or is it a bug?

Don't understand ? as it's purpose is clearly stated.

Yes, and it means you don't have to go to the individual forum as you said.  You can do it from the homepage too and the OP seems to have worked it out.

@CharlieH 

Overnight, (UK time) something has changed.

When I went to comply with your request, I found I CAN now post in the Israel topic thus:

I started, then backed out of creating new topics in Ukraine, Israel and Covid - all would have proceeded had I continued.

 

What also changed overnight were my Notification settings - I did NOT receive a email notification of your new content - I've restored that setting to how I want it - most odd. 

I don't think the 2 issues are connected - do you?   Anyway, I shall monitor that.....

 

This issue came to light, because, originally I wanted to post in one of the News forums.  I presume, I'm not authorised to create topics within "Thailand Live" or "Video News and Updates" or anywhere within "Regional Thailand News"  for example (???)  I'd never really considered it before. 

 

By the way, after all that, I found that someone else had already posted what I wanted to 🙄
