-1 new messages?

As it says in the title - The bar at the top fo the screen informs me that I have -1 New Messages.

Wossgoinon?

 

Good.

It scares me.

*Shudder*

( Thanks )

 

Just wanted to let you know I have been bit by the -2 messages bug.

 

*, now its the -1 message bug... It's no bother, I am just trying to keep you all informed of any problems...

 

Understood I have no problem as this is not the only time it has happened, I guess maybe you can call it bug reporting.

Thanks again.

 

......

 

Can you help? I have a "1 new messages" symbol that won't go away. There are no messages in my inbox and it still shows on the screen?

Paul

 

Thanks.

Try changing the skins on the forum, that seemed to help for me

Got my first "-1 New Post" just now after replying to a new PM...

If changing skins doesn't help try sending or replying to a PM. That fixed it for me.

Yes, replying to an existing PM helped stop it for me.

 

I actually had a "-1" New Messages for over a week a few months ago. Was kind of annoying.

 

I got this after reading two PMs from the same user that were sent around the same time. I hope it goes away soon...

 

That's what my account says. What happened?.

 

I have -2 new messages. They still haven't found a solution to this bug.

 

I just wanna know who stole 8 Messages from me. :lol

 

I know how to fix the problem (At least until the Techs can figure out the cause) .

However many New Messages you have in the negative, for example I had -8 New Messages, Send yourself a PM
by clicking on your username, (I just wrote Subject: Hello and the Message: Hello again) then answer it.

After you have answered your own PM, delete the original one, and your Negative count will go down.
Repeat for each Negative New Message.

It worked for me.

 

You can also try *just* clicking "reply" and them backing out before hitting send. Saves the trouble of actually sending yourself (or some other "lucky" member) all those PM's.
