read. how do i make new posting

Go to this link: viewforum.php?f=2 and in the upper left, look for the words "Prostatitis Discussion." Right under them is a button that says "NEW TOPIC." Click it and it opens up a new page for a new discussion. To keep the spammers under control, all topics must be approved by the administration. You would be surprised by the number of new members that come in and immediately begin to post porn links. NORMALLY, most posts are approved within 90 minutes of the original posting time.
