Ghost PMs?

[ChristoT]

Not sure if anyone else has this, but here we go.

Recently, the unread PMs thing keeps showing 1. I've checked back to the first one, I can't find any I haven't read!

Not sure if it's triggered by my inbox having 3 or more PMs in it, but it's a tad annoying! Any way to fix?

Ta!

Read your pms?


All I can think of atm is that there is a wee preview of the pm and the pm itself, have you clicked directly onto the message at the top of the page to read it rather than just the wee preview thing at the bottom?

I've changed the settings so my latest PM opens at the top of the page. But there was no orange indicator next to the PM in the list showing it unread.

It's gone back to normal now anyhow.

Weird.

Aaaaannnnd...

It's back. 

This is how it looks (bearing in mind this is after 3 or 4 refreshes). Any ideas?

Is this still happening?

No - but then again, I haven't been swamped by PMs in a while. I was getting it when I had 3 or more unread PMs in my inbox when I loggeed on.

Well you could have told me and it would have saved me wasting time transferring data around trying to find the problem.

Sorry Farjo, not my intent! 

It happened again this evening. But due to the (atrocious) internet speed here at home, I reckon it may be linked to that.

Strange....

[ChristoT]

Sorry Farjo

Back again this evening. I'd been off the site for a few hours, one unread PM. Long on, the inbox counter says two, when I read the PM, it goes back to 1. Grr.

Bloody intermittent faults. They piss the hell out of everyone.

Thanks, will have a look tonight; please let me know if it fixes itself again and we'll wait for the next time

Took me a while but looks like you've got message / messages that you've also sent to yourself as well as the intended recipient which is unread in your sent box. So if you go through those messages it will get rid of the unread notification. And then if you stop sending the PMs to yourself it won't happen again.

I went through my sent box - nothing unread, nothing untoward. I left it, and the problem was there all yesterday.

Today, seems ok. For how long, I wonder...
