Hi Guys,
I only recently updated SingularityForum.org to the latest version and became a silver member.
Unfortunately, it seems that I can't "add topics" to my forum now.
What do I do to fix this issue?!

The most common reason for these buttons not working are described here: http://codex.simple-press.com/.....-conflict/
If this turns out to be the problem then it is usually fixable once we find out where it is being loaded.
A link would be helpful as well.

It is not only the buttons friend - I can't add any text either, though I can actually write a title for the topic the body is impossible to write on.
Here is your link:

Did you take a look at the codex page?

Yes I did but it means nothing to me for I am not a coder and don't understand any of it...
So basically, I hope you are able to identify the specific problem that I am having on SingularityWeblog.com rather than pointing me towards a general errata area. This way, as long as it is diagnosed right, either you will fix it yourselves or I will ask some one else, based on the proper diagnosis...

So you don't understand some simple instructions to search the html source for a particular string of text? It's not really that hard.
Your theme is loading both jQuery and the jQuery UI from the Google CDN. This needs changing so that it is loading the correct libraries from WordPress. It IS a simple matter once the place in the code has been located. It is most commonly in the theme functions file. Both the diagnosis and the solution are in the codex article.

OK but are you sure that this is exactly the problem?
My impression is you diagnosed it even before going there?
My WordPress theme is Thesis and it is one of the best themes out there so I am surprised it has an issue like that...

99% of the time we have an issue with jquery, this is it... so with no link originally given to us, we can assume as a starting point...
but we did look when you provided the link... and its loading its own version and not the wp version...
<script type='text/javascript' src='http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js'></script>
<script type='text/javascript' src='http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.16/jquery-ui.min.js'></script>
of course, no way of knowing without trying ourselves and we cannot post on your forum... also, you didnt really explain what cannot post new topics mean... what occurs? in the console of firebug or other tools for other browsers, do you get any js errors?

Thesis is one of the most popular and widely used themes. I wouldn't say it is one of the best. Some themes that load the google cdn version of the libraries will give you an option to turn that off somewhere in the wp admin theme settings. I don't know if Thesis is one of them but you should take a look and see. If it DOES have such an option then I will definitely upgrade it to 'one of the best'. 
The good news is that at least it does use the WP API to load scripts so if there is no such option then it will almost certainly be a simple matter of commenting out a few lines of code - as I said before - most probably in the theme functions file.

Just for the record - I did give you a link on the very first message - SingularityForum.org (it was not hyperlinked but if you did read the message you would have seen it and all you needed to do is copy and paste)
As I said above, I am not a coder so I don't know how to use firebug and tell you if there are any errors - if it is so simple why didn't you do it?!
As to what occurs, as I said above I can type a topic title but can't type within the body. And yes, you could easily register a test account for my forum and test out the problem yourself - I mean what exactly am I paying for here?!
Finally, if it was the java script why did it work perfectly well on version 4.5 and then as soon as we updated to version 5 it stopped working?!
