Here is a screengrab of where the IM/Email is located when you recieve one is, {and where I myself use to link to it...{messaging}

Lyne, try going to the messaging area, then once there, click on 'compose' {if its not already there}
type in your own username {just like it is here, for Im not sure if it is case-sensitive} then send it..then click on the forums page again and you should see a new message where the image I posted is showing it to be.
Let me know if that works :)
