Maybe because you don't have enough postings on the "proper" boards (rather than off-topic boards)?

You have no posts so how can you have had a reply to something??

Give a man a record and you feed him for a day.
Teach a man to research, and you feed him for a lifetime.

Do you mean a Personal Message or a reply on a thread?

If it is a Personal Message you will see a number beside "MY MESSAGES" in the dark bar near the top of the page. Click on that then select "read your messages" from the pulldown menu. There is a 'reply' button on the top right of each message box.

On a normal thread, the blue "reply" button is at the bottom right of every page of the thread.

There are some topics which do not have a "reply" button I don't think (some of the "off topic" threads)- if the thread has been completed for example.

I found this after I had written my reply:

Added:
It seems like the two replies above have answered your question.  :) You need two or three posts before you can send or receive PMs.

Now that you have made 2 postings has anything changed??
