Can't send PMs

[BooLean]

So, I recently created a Paper Mario 64 texture pack and created a thread on the General Discussion Forum (My account is new so I can't post on the Custom Texture Forum).

To get it moved to the Custom Texture Forum I'm supposed to contact a Moderator via PM.
So I tried that just to find out that I don't have the permission to send PMs... What's up with that? (is this because my account is so new, or am I doing something wrong?)

If it's a permission issue can a Mod please grant me permission to write PMs?

Aaaand while I'm already asking, can a Moderator check out the above mentioned Thread about the Paper Mario 64 texture pack and then move it to the Custom Texture Forum if there aren't any issues with it?

Thanks

New accounts have some restrictions (including PMs), they'll be lifted automatically once you reach a certain post count. Alternatively, you can also report your post/thread in the meantime, that will send a notification to all moderators.

I'll move your thread now.

@BooLean - Generally, when a new user makes a new texture thread that gets moved to the Custom Texture Forum, someone on Forum Staff manually gives that user higher permissions (via their User Group). Some times things fall through the cracks, however. In this case, not all of Forum Staff has access to the Admin CP, where these changes need to be made. The person who moved the custom texture thread had no such access to the Admin CP, so there's a bit of a longer than usual delay before someone (like myself) can get around to fixing that.

It should be taken care of by the time you read this.

Thank you both for helping me and clarifying this matter.
