To fix "1 new message" problem

#1

Post by Contrast »

I seem to have a tiny problem here. At the top of my page it says "1 new message", but there isn't. I assume this might have something to do with all the drama that's been going around, but all I really want to do is get rid of that "1". Opening my inbox does nothing, and neither does logging out. That "1" is bugging the hell out of me. I know that sounds incredibly obsessive compulsive, but it's driving me bats#%t crazy.
Could somebody please tell me how to get rid of a notification for a message that apparently doesn't exist anymore?
Thanks.

I'll look into it when I get home but I have a feeling only Anoyomouse will be able to fix that.

Ok, anoyo said he's gonna fix it tonight. Prolly a good plan if people who are experiencing this phenomena do post here, to make life easier.

Can we have a "banner" link to this threat, just so people can post up their names, admins? Banner as in appears at the top of every page, the announcements section sorta thing.

I also am experiencing it, side note :P

I think the problem happened, cause the person who sent it was "banned" basically straight after he sent it, so that might be the cause.

The message was deleted off the system by Anoyomouse. As far as I know that isn't something the forum software is capable of doing and so it doesn't recognise that it was done.

Mmm, I dont have it, but, probably because I got to read the thing before it was deleted. Makes sense if you think about it.

Give the Admins time...
Although I fear we would be stuck with this problem for some time.

All of the Admins I know are extremely busy with their own lives. And only a Admin can fix this. The Moderators does not have enough rights.
My knowledge of forums, this problem is going to take some effort to correct or it might trash the PM systems. Might have to jump into the MySQL back-end...

Also noteworthy, whenever this thread gets a new reply, mine thinks everything from Rakeuns "has this been fixed" is new... Very strange...
