Can't private message?

I can't find the best forum to put this but does anyone know why I can't send or receive private messages? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
I do apologize if this is not the right are of the site for this kind of ?. I love the community you have setup here!

PLEASE DISREGARD!
It would now appear that I can private message. Maybe I just needed some more points(?)
Sorry for wasting everyone's time.
