Is it correct for me to participate in mixed forums and write articles and reply to the posts of members - men and women - within limits, and what should I do if I am mistaken?

The default ruling is that it is permissible for a woman to participate in forums if it is for a beneficial and legitimate purpose, and no religious prohibition results from it, and she adheres to the Islamic guidelines. However, the temptation of women for men is great and severe, and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, warned against it, saying: "I have not left behind me any trial more harmful to men than women," and he said: "Beware of the world and beware of women, for the first trial of the Children of Israel was concerning women." Therefore, it is preferable for a woman to avoid participating in the aforementioned forum and to seek a women-only forum.
