How can I unlock the ability to send private messages on TSR?

I'm new to TSR so what's a forum (is it like a subreddit on Reddit) and where do I find the "main" one?

Hey! The number of posts has actually dropped a little since this reply, it's now at least two posts in the forum, and you need to have a member for three days

A forum is like a subreddit, you're correct - you can see the full list of forums here, but if there's anything in particular you're looking for then let me know and I can point you in the right direction

Which forum do I need to post in twice to unlock private messages?

does replying to other posts in a forum count? I have replied to 2 questions in a forum, does the 3 days wait start from now?

Probationary usergroup

I’m having the same issue, didn’t realize I needed to post questions before I could reply to PM’s

Is it 10-15?

need to be a member 3 days, post a few questions in forums. but even that dont matter in my case smh

Wait how many questions have you got to post cuz I'm trying to unlock mine as well?
