Private message problem?

**Colleen** · Nov 4th, 2007, 3:45 pm

Anyone having problems with private messages? I have a new one but can't get to it, it says up top I have one and it's yellow and flashing as it's supposed to and I got the email but I can't access it. WTF! :sshocked:

Anyone else?

(yes Zap, it's your pm, lol!) :shuh:

I haven't received any! PM me and I'll let you know.

Got it and replied... No problems.

I got yours, could read it and reply, seem's Zap's pm to me is lost in the system, my usercp will forever be flashing that I have a new pm, yet I can't access it, real annoying. I tried logging out and back in too....

I still can't access your initial reply to my pm. I had to copy it from email and paste it in to quote it.

My pm notification is still flashing and claiming I have 1 unread PM which I can't even see. I've never seen this happen before, but it better not flash forever. :shuh:

Feel better now Tim?

Funny, I just noticed a PM I can't click on, at the bottom of my list with a date of Dec, 1969, I deleted it and the new pm notification is finally gone, but Zap's pm should have sent normally as they all do, with today's date, so something whack happened there.

Be sure it's set in your usercp options to receive a notification email when you get a private message, if it is, uncheck it, and save, then recheck it and save again.

Run your database maintenance tools from the ACP, Maintenance > "Repair & Optimize tables" whenever things go wonky that's my first course of action...

Thanks Dan, there's been a few wonks here tonight, that's for sure. :shuh:

Wonks!? Sounds naughty. :love: :love:

Have you tried the profile tools under update counters? I'm shooting in the dark here, I think you've got an addon to show a special graphic if you have a new message. Have you tried disabling that then running the db tools, then enabling it?

Other than that if it's only a problem with your profile.. Export the messages so you have copies and delete all your messages via the ACP.
