When you are new your posts are read over by a moderator before they show up. When you submit your post wait a while and it will eventually be posted. Sometimes it's quick, sometimes it's not. The moderators are often busy moderating.

You do need to devolupe a posting history so that the board moderator will know you can follow the rules.  (If you break the rules, you can get moderated again...  and released after you again show you learned your lesson.)  I suggest you read the Self Help Section the link is next to the life ring...  so you know what the rules are.

Take the time to spell check & proof read your posts as many can not be edited & those which can are only for a short period.  ALL edits posts get moderated.  

As a member, you can advertize on your local regional board once every 7 days.   You can post & reply appropriately in any conversation on any board but if it looks like an ad, expect it to count as your ad of the week & possibly get moved to your local board, the only place where ads are allowed.   I do suggest that you participate a bit so that members get to know you.  It is standard advise for members & especially Newbies to stick to well reviewed ladies.  It can be a bit difficult to get that first review.  So you can see that members getting aquainted may balance out that reluctance to TOFTT.  

Best Wishes
