[SOLVED] How do I Private Message someone on this forum?

When I try to PM another member I get the following:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page.

How do I get sufficient privileges?

NOTE: Private messages are only enabled for members in the Senior Member and Contributing Member usergroups. Your user title is based on the number of posts you have. 0 - 29 posts: LQ Newbie 30 - 999 posts: Member 1000 posts: Senior Member After 5000 posts you can choose between LQ Guru, LQ Muse, LQ 5k Club, LQ Sage, LQ Veteran and LQ Addict

And of course, the recipient(s) must also be amenable to accepting PMs.

However, your usergroup is not based on your title!
