Yeah, as far as I remember, you have to get to a set point/have a set amount of posts before you can pm. forumotion does this to prevent spammers from flooding people's inboxes. I can see about tweaking it or looking at your account to fix it for you. As you shouldn't have a problem but I'm not sure. You're good to go after making one more post. As I assumed it's the whole preventing spambots and such.
