Hi Faera,
Welcome to the Rootschat and the NZ Board. New members need 3 posts before the Private Messages (PM) can be activated. Just post one more time with a smiley or a Hello, then you and Hutchy Baby can exchange messages. You can also send a message even though they are off line (grey tells you off and green on), and they will pick it up when they log on.
Cheers
KHP
