Unable to see or send direct messages

What are you trying to achieve?

I am trying to send private messages. Sadly I am unable to. I need to send a message to participate in the currently running competition as my email did not receive anything but sadly I can’t get in contact.

Sorry if this is not the right place, it is the only place I can send a message.

Steps taken so far

I made sure to get the 2 starter badges incase they are needed.
