OK. this MAY be easily solved when you understand the "structure" of these forums


You can only post in a "leaf" or "child" forum (depending your preferred metaphor)

this illustrates how "iPhone" is a "limb" or "parent" and you cannot post in it - but can in the "sub-forums" that appear as links

iPhone >

Using iPhone

iPhone Hardware

iPhone in Business and Education

iPhone Accessories


At the end of the New Discussion posting process, you need to make a choice of where to put it


Look what happens when I "Test"

THEN, look what happens when I type the word "iPhone" = ALL by ITSELF

SOME forums are BOTH parent AND child - like "Using Apple Support Communities" or "Apple ID"
