If you want to send someone a private message, click on their username to view their profile and then click the message link in the top right, it's quite small and easy to miss but it's there. Don't write the message in the large text field labelled Activity (the one with the Add Comment button underneath), or at least be aware that if you do, it will not be private, and anyone who views that persons profile will be able to read it.
I'm mentioning this because I see more than my fair share of messages on people's profiles that were obviously intended to be private but are there for all the world to see.
If you ever think you've sent someone a PM, and they claim not to have got it, I'm betting it's because you've made the mistake above.
