ihmsa forums

After a years long layoff, I am back on the IHMSA forum, and signed up again very recently. Someone sent me a private message, but the system will not allow me to reply to the message because of my so far limited activity.
Hey moderator, what can I do to get this lifted?

New Forum members are limited as to what they can do until a certain number of new member posts are approved. Continue your activity on the Forum and soon you'll be able to use more of the Forum features.

Thank you!
