How do I pm someone first?

So, I can get pm's and reply to them but I don't know how to pm someone first.. what the heck?

If you click on a user's name, a pop up will appear, and there should be a link to "Start a conversation". New users need to wait for at least 24 hours and have at least 10 forum posts before they are able to start new conversations with other users. It seems to me that you have at least 10 posts, so maybe you just need to wait a little longer before your account is old enough to send messages.

@jami it may take anything up to 24 hours for new users to have access to the extended functions that the site offers, such as PMs and signatures. I can see you have already accrued the 10+ on-site posts which is the other prerequisite, so if you are unable to send PMs just yet, wait a day and try again. If, after a day, you are still having no joy, let us know here.
