What is this and what do you expect from it? Do you have a "new" method
that takes one argument in your controller class? Also, the "new" method
of a controller simply renders a blank form to the browser so that the
user can fill it out.

Typically a controller contains a new method (action) that takes 0
arguments, hence the above error.

P.S. Consider this instead:

@post = Post.create(:title => @postform.title, :body => @postform.body,
:user_id => session[:user_id])
