You have 1 New Message (nothing in Inbox)
« on: September 11, 2006, 03:48:40 PM »
I delete the spam that was in my PM box but I still get a "You have 1 Message" warning.  My box is completely empty.  Is there another place the message could be so I can see what it is/delete if necessary?

To the best of my knowledge, no...the notifier probably didn't update. How long ago did you delete the mail? Have you rebooted? (Normally you wouldn't have to, but something got stuck). Another option might be to clear your cookies, if you know how.

If that doesn't work, I'm afraid we have to punt to Iago.

I have -1 messages in my inbox.  Somehow the number went into negative digits when I deleted the spam.  O_o

I also have -1. It really doesn't bother me. I snicker when I see it. (Then I remember how I got that and have to go burn my eyes.)

I'm also getting the -1 messages thing.  Even tried sending myself a PM and deleting it, got the same thing.  But now that I've got one sitting there, I have 0 messages.

My -1 message has suddenly disappeared! Just when I was getting used to seeing it.  Did we have a message fairy come and wave a wand?  ???

I noticed that yesterday; I'm thinking maybe they applied some patch or something to the board and it fixed the table or whatever that was messed up.
