  Click on the envelope, go to new message, put in name of person you want to PM, and type/send message.

  You can also click on their user name and then hit the message button.

  For some reason, I can't PM other people and it is not an option on my account? Is there a reason why?

  @CCadmin_Sorin
  
  Is there a restriction on new posters in terms of using PM? I know there was for a long while...10 posts or something.
  
  Is that back?

  @WalnutGirl0303, you need to be a Junior Member in order to be able to Private Message another user. We've reintroduced this requirement as we have been dealing with a lot of spam PMs. In order to become a Junior Member you need 15 posts. Thanks!

  You now need a minimum of 15 posts to be able to send a PM. The site was seeing an influx of new users ending unsolicited PMs, so this restriction was added.

  Thanks for the 15 posts recommendation but I just completed my 16th and I am still unable to private message? I would have directly asked @CCadmin_Sorin but I was not able to PM! Thanks!

  @VerlisB, can you please confirm this is still an issue? I've checked in the backend and you should be able to PM now that you are a Junior Member. Thanks!

  Would be helpful if you announced the 15 posts thing somewhere. Been trying to figure out why I couldn't post for half an hour. OK that's 2. 13 more to go. Jeesh.
