Permission to use conversations feature?

[Z.K. Eel]

Sorry if this is a stupid question and I missed something very obvious. I want to contact a user privately, but when I click "Start a conversation" I get a 403. Do I just need to post first? Guess I'll see... Edit: OK, no, still can't use conversations.

OK, I did some searching and saw a post from @Null saying you need 1 post to use conversations. Does starting a thread not count? Will the reply work? I'm so sorry. I feel like a doofus. Edit: No luck...

I just want to talk to a regular user, not a mod. Anyway, it works now. Sorry for this dumb thread.

Your biggest offense (I am not a mod) is that you tagged Null in the OP after you resolved the situation. Don't do this. Only tag people if you need to alert them of your post without quoting a post of theirs (if you want to call on their expertise, or you're stating a fact about them and want to give them the opportunity to disclaim if you fuck up), and especially don't frivolously tag Null.

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't even realize referring to a user with @ would alert them or was meant to draw their attention. Thank you.
