Brigit-Carol, you are unable to send PMs until you reach a total of 25 posts on the board. You can read more about this here. Also, just FYI, if you should require help with a post or are having a problem there is a "report this post to moderator" link on every post.

THANK YOU! I wonder why this is not in the FAQ? That was the only place I knew to look. And I did use the "report this post to a moderator" three days ago when I realised I couldn't PM. Now to work up to 25 posts without being reported for overposting!
