Apologies at the start as I'm sure this question has been asked many times before!
Can someone explain to a newbie how Private Messaging works?
I have picked up on a very old thread and would really like to contact so of the contributors directly as my reply to the post has remained unanswered. Having looked around I think I have to have submitted 3 posts or replies (not sure which) before I can Private Message a member - is that correct?
I can't work out why that is necessary but there is probably a very good reason.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Just acknowledge this and your will have made three posts.

you can already send a pm. I shall have a look at the member you are trying to contact :)

Hi crimbo,
It looks like the member you are trying to contact had turned off notification on that topic, I have messaged them to let them know. They were online last month so hopefully should pick up the message very soon.

Thank you for your prompt responses!
It has opened up a few more questions. :-)
Firstly, how could you tell if I could PM?
Secondly, how did you tell the member I was trying to contact has turned off notifications for that topic?
Thirdly, when you say acknowledge, I presume this just means Reply?
So much to learn - thanks for your patience!

Hi Crimbo,
As admin I can see your posts and any other members settings, I looked at your first post and contacted the member.

Aha - that makes sense!
I've checked and can now see the PM functionality so should be all up and running.
Thanks for your time and help.
