You won't be able to send pm's or access some of the other site features until you have 100 posts. I know it can be annoying for a lot of new members, but it's just a precaution against spammers, and trolls alike.
Well, ok, no wonder! Obviously I've been registered here for a little while, but have only been browsing and reading posts, until now. Indeed, I'm only now becoming familiar with how things are set up. You're right also, I have no idea why there's no FAQ as it would have saved both you and I the trouble. Thanx!
