Hi Sandra. here’s a screen shot that might help.
Click on Sally’s name (indicated by the big black arrow). The blue button with the envelope and “message” is in the box that pops up. Click on that to send a private message.

Not being able to find the messaging icon happened to someone else recently.
My theory, and admins can correct me if I’m wrong, is that it’s because you haven’t been “here” as in actively engaging on the forum for very long. A quick look at your profile shows me you’ve read a few posts, not “liked” any, this seems to be the only comment you’ve made, and so nobody has had chances to “like” what you’ve said. (I’ve given you your first one to get you going.)
This all means the forum system hasn’t decided to “trust you” fully yet. Interact more to prove you’re human and you’ll likely get some automated messages about being promoted trust levels and now being allowed to do more things.

I just dug into the specifics. To get basic trust level and be able to send PMs, the one thing you need to have done but haven’t is to visit 5 different topics. You’ve visited 3.
Poke around, read just two topic threads that seem interesting to you, and give the system a short time to register it. Then you can PM people.
Here’s the full details: Discourse trust levels
