How do I obtain a link to my profile on Waze forums? Seems it should be simple, but I'm beyond confused as to how to grab it lol

Profiles in the forum have been disabled because phpBB can't handle the massive size of the user database. It would actually crash the site when they were accessible.

Is that the reason why I cannot access the memberlist within the PM system?

Exactly... You just have to type in the username (which you can get from the editor - just remember not to include the parentheses & number at the end, that's their editing rank)...

But there is still a security flaw. It is possible to retrieve all existing usernames

Which, if you use the website to do so, will crash the webserver or make it unresponsive for 5min or so.
