Problems with PMing/Inbox

M

Dear lovely admins,

When I receive a PM my inbox doesn't indicate that I have a new message - it's always '0'.

I'm not sure if you are already aware of this little glitch.

If so, please delete this moan thread.

Thank you!

please confirm that you have never seen the inbox say more than "0" ever?

you can test this by marking the PM as unread.

Uhmm...i have had similar experiences....someone sent me 4 messages and its only cos i was bored one day and clicked on inbox that I saw OMG 4 unread messages!!

M

I can confirm my inbox has never said anything but '0'. I'm using IE on Vista..if that helps.

Okay, Pete...now you just sent me a message it did come up showing 1 message inbox! This is the first time this has happened.

I've had about 15 mesages and none have done this before (even when unopened). When I mark them as 'unread', they also show up as messages inbox.

Can anyone having problems, please PM themselves and test as i cant reproduce any problems. Pressing "F5" at anytime will make the server check for new messages. If after pressing "F5" the inbox states "0" but clicking on your inbox displays 1 or more unread messages, please contact me, thanks.

hi

i pmed myself and suddenly 3 messages showed up beside 'inbox', 2 from ages ago and one that i sent just now. till this moment there had only been (0) beside inbox.

Hi, Pete.

It doesn't seem to be a refresh problem as I can log in and out over a few days, and not realise I have new messages until on the off chance I check my inbox.

Just now I have sent myself 2 test messages and they showed up as being inbox i.e. Inbox(2). However, I didn't open them. I then logged out, and logged back in and my inbox was showing (0) despite the two unopened messages.

When I click on the Inbox(0) and go to my messages it then changes back to Inbox(2).

This is obviously a problem. I will investigate......thanks

Now I feel hurt, and betrayed, and all those cheezy negative things that people say they feel in situations like this :p. When I mentioned this problem before you didn't take it seriously Pete :-(

And me!

Sorry H and 404, but i did not find a problem with this because it did not affect any administrators. I've now fixed the problem. Let me know if there is still a problem. Many thanks to all who helped solve this issue. ;-)

I wish I had messages in my inbox that I couldn't see :-(

Pete, thank you for your important message! It seemed very important indeed.
