I need help on how to use this site

I am new on this site and are very impressed with it. I need some guidance on how to reply on a private message. An error keeps on appearing saying that the private message function has not been fully activated. I did share as much info as possible on the forum. Why can't it send my message?

I'm sure the mods will be here soon to help.

Everything is explained here: https://www.expat.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=23238
