How do I send a private message?

I recently received my first private message and cannot for the life of me figure out how to reply. When I view the message, there is no "view message" button or anything resembling functionality to reply to the message. When I go to my User Control Panel, then click on "Private messages," then "Compose message," there is a set of columns marked "Subject," "Author," "Sent," and "Mark," and where there would normally be rows, there is text that says "No messages." Moreover, there does not seem to be any sort of indicator of any way to actually compose a message. How is it that on the "Compose message" screen there is no way to compose messages? Where did the designer of this interface go to GUI school? Geez.

If anyone could clue me in to whatever I may be missing, I'd appreciate it. I'm using Firefox on Linux, though I can't imagine the forum HTML would have problems with Mozilla.

Perhaps the PM got removed for spam by a mod? Was it a PM you are/were expecting?

On the left side, on the same height as the row "Subject" i have a white area stating "Usernames" on who you want to send the message to.

The other way is just click on the "PM" button in a posting from the user you want to PM.
Just here
