All my pms are stuck in the outbox for a few days. What should I do?

That's where they stay until they're read by the recipient. It's just how phpBB works. It's counterintuitive compared to the way email works, but it is actually kind of nice to be able to see whether it was read

How do you send PMs. How can people contact members here?

After you have posted 5-10 posts, the admins will open for you to send PM's.
This is to avoid "morons" to spam everybody.

Really?
So the PM’s don’t move from the Outbox until they are read by the recipient?

Correct. It's just how it was designed (poor design but it is what it is).
