Good morning Hades. I'm at work, so I can't do a lot for you until I get home. In the mean time, go to your user control panel, it's right under the red versys icon in the upper left corner of the home page, one of the little links. Once you're there, look at the column on the left, down a little you'll see "edit options", click that, then scroll down a bit till you see the "private message" section. There is a box called "enable private messaging", make sure it's checked. Make sure the next two are NOT checked, then check the last two. That should enable you to send & receive PM's. You'll probably have to close your browser, then reopen it, then it'll work. If that doesn't fix it, gimme a yell...
