How much extra time does it take for the system to update the account? TIA

My 10th post was more than 12 hours ago, and my account was registered more than 26 hours ago.

You now have messaging capability. If often takes the system a little while (30-90 minutes, but can take longer) to recognize when someone reaches that milestone before awarding the extra options.
