Hi there I have tried that but I keep getting a error message
An error occurred: Sorry you cannot send personal message to that user. How can I connect other people on this site.

Users can opt out of allowing other users to send them personal messages. It’s under Preferences > Users. The user you are trying to send to likely has opted out so you can’t PM them.
