So, apparently now I am unable to send forum private messages until I "complete the Wizard," the last step of which is "invite some friends" with a valid email address.

Why do I have to do this in order to use basic forum functionality?  I mean, I know I can go create some fake email address, but this seems rather underhanded of you guys.

That's a bug. The "invite friends" step is entirely optional. I'll check on this.
