Hi,

You need to post at least once to be able to access the PM features, which you've done. Should be good now.

Splendid. Thanks!

Glad I found this. Thanks for this answer

Oddly, I've posted more than once but still can't seem to message people.

Edit: WOW, okay. Answered my own question two seconds after writing this. I didn't know you could hover over people's avatars to see more information. Problem solved, I guess!

Thanks, I was trying to PM a guy because he answered something I was looking for and couldn't, glad I found this post as well.

this happened to me too. Do they mention it somewhere? Without this thread I would've had no idea! We should keep this open for people to randomly post once ;p

I've lost almost an hour trying to find how to send a private message :S

You click on the small, red envelope icon under another member's Avatar to open the Private Message window.

I'm glad I stumbled across this. Hopefully more new people find it.

I'm having the exact same issue right now. This is my first post here, and I will tell everyone whether this works or not.

It worked!

So all you have to do is post somewhere, and it automatically unlocks? Hopefully this counts...
