Need help understanding how to post individually

I wrote a post and titled it Happy Shopper and when it came to posting it I looked to see where I could post it and it seems that I have to encroach on somebody else's topic. I wanted to put it in General but it would not let me but I could put it in somebody else's topic .??? Why will the forum not allow me to post in General.? I do not want to upset anyone by posting something that has nothing to do with their posts.

Hello Longfellow ... yes you should be able to post a new topic in the General section. This is a link to how to use the Forum: https://www.silversurfers.com/silversurfers-forum-guide/

If you still need some help just come back to me .. best wishes, Sally

Well I tried again I put the topic in (Happy Shopper) but the Category box turned pink so I clicked on it and a list came up with various topics under different category's. I clicked on General again but it was not having any of it. The only way I could post like I said earlier was to click on one of the other topics. But which because none say anything about shopping. I guess I will leave it.
It is not like I am new to forums I am a member of others and find it pretty easy normally.
This one does seem a pretty complicated forum, I find it easy to post on other peoples topics but cannot open one of my own.?
Never mind thanks for trying to help.
