persistant unread PM count

addink on 6/7/2004 at 09:01

For some reason my PM count indicates that I have an Unread message, though as far as I can tell, I've read all of them..

To add to the confusion, the Total count does match the total number of messages I see in the IN and SENT box... :erg:

So my question is:
Do I really have an unread message? And, if so, how do I get to view this?

I asked that same question recently. Find your answer (http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=83999) here.

Reading a message doesn't actually mark it as read. You have to check the box in the inbox that corresponds to the unread message and select "Mark as read" from the box-list-thing at the bottom. Unread messages have <img src="http://www.ttlg.com/forums/images/statusicon/pm_new.gif"> on the left (rather than <img src="http://www.ttlg.com/forums/images/statusicon/pm_old.gif">), and the name of the sender will be in bold.

Ah, thanx, that solved it.

None of the messages had the

It isn't supposed to behave like that, it is a bug. Unfortunatley I need to set up FTP and Admin accounts with default styles for Jellsoft support staff and I haven't had the time. However, this thread has reminded that I need to open a support ticket, so I shall try and do that this afternoon.

Support ticket has been opened with Jellsoft. :)
