Not able to access private messages section

Hello folks,
I registered here some time ago to ask some questions about xposed module development.
I got the answers I needed, completed the module, released it and updated it a few times since then.
Now I received an email that someone contacted me here via private message to ask some questions about this module.
Well I'd like to answer but I really have trouble navigating to this page.

Does this sound familiar to anyone?
I remember having problems using the correct subforums when I developed the module because I didn't have enough reputation/posts/whatever.
May this also be the cause for not being able to access the private messages section?

Thank you, the problem does not appear on my notebook, so I guess there really might have been some cache inconsitencies on the other machine.

I'd like to change my username from this to Hawk (account exists but guy hasn't logged in since 2005). If you don't want to remove that inactive account, then a change to Alexness.

What a mess in here... Instead of deleting this thread the mod decided to delete the post I made, after checking your reply, in:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...recommendations-for-xda-improvements.4300729/
... but hey, its actually not a recommendation, its a security flaw and therefor bug report. So maybe the mod was right to leave this thread. Still confused

I just fixed this by standardizing verbiage across both situations. Thank you for bringing it to our attention @GuestNoOne !

Lol. Mods thanking each other to gain more likes - while the one who brought it up doesnt get any.

We don't care about likes anymore, this is no longer significant at this point, for moderators at least. We are not chasing them.

Fixed! You got likes now, thanks!
Yeah that happens, I've seen moderators (myself included) affected by this situation as well, don't worry, e.g. a moderator posts a smart question or an interesting issue and only the other mod who answered got likes! This is not specific to non-moderators, trust me.
