Just signed up and cannot private message anyone?

Hi, so I have the problem in the title. When I tried to private message someone or start a new message from My Messages menu, I get this notification: you do not have permission to access this page

I checked my email, there's no activation emails waiting for me. Please help if you know what's going on and how I can fix this! Thank you so much

You can't private message until you have posted something in the forum.
