I think you just need more posts to access your profile. Check the permissions sticky at the top of the NEW START HERE forum
I've been seeing that same message anytime I want to look at my own profile. I thought I already activated my account and went through the authorization thing by utilizing my university email address. Also, not sure if anyone else notice the same thing also, but I NEVER get any notifications at all, even when someone has replied or directly quoted my posts. Thanks.

You can only see your profile or other people's around 25+ posts. After that it will become visible. It's to filter out possible spam accounts
You can tweak where you get notifications in your settings, and also when you subscribe to a post. I don't recall wether you can access settings yet though.
Good luck! Also try to read the Index to Important Threads and Resources. It's a bit lengthy but most of your doubts will probably be answered there.

I've never seen a setting to receive a notification when someone quotes my post-- it also seems the forum has a "tag" feature that will notify you if someone mentions you in a post, but I don't get notifications for that, either. I always assumed the former was not a feature of this forum, and the latter just wasn't working for me (or, I turned it off years ago and have forgotten it ever existed as a feature). I looked in "settings" and I can choose to be notified of PMs by email or a pop-up, but I don't see anything relating to quotes, tags, etc.
Putting it in my signature because I have to say it so often:
Do what works for your hair, not what other people say is "right" or "wrong." If it works for you, it's not wrong. If it doesn't work for you, it's not right.
You can see if threads that you're active in or have subscribed to have been uptaded under settings.
You can't actually tag people in threads. So you will simply have to look through all new posts in a thread, to see if someone have mentioned or replied to you.

Thank you so much for the replies, everyone! Gosh, I guess I do need to really take my time to read more around here, lol!
TY xx
