Private Messages

I cannot read my most recent message(s) in my private message inbox. Once someone sends me an additional message, I can then read the older (second most recent) message which I previously could not read. However, I then cannot read the most recent message that was just sent.

I get this error message when I click to open the most recent message:

Just to note. I sent WR a pm on Dec 19th and he has yet to read it, so I don'et think he's been on here for a while.
More online investigation than onsite exploration these days.

Well then... I've had a message from Sublunar in my inbox for a couple days that I can't read. Someone needs to send me an additional message so I can read it

Try it now, Baghead and let me know if it's still doing it.

It's just the one message, right? PM a link to the message (it won't open for me but it'll give me the message number). Because I don't show any unread messages from SubLunar for you so something's screwed up somewhere.

Well I've gotten 2 new messages since then so currently the one I can't read is from Mindwaave. (p=81611)

I'm now able to read the one from Sub since it's no longer my most recent message...

The message I sent is still in my Outbox and hasn't been moved to my Sentbox.

I think I fixed it. The last PM from mindwaave should show up as read now. And I'm going to PM you and see if you can read it.

Everybody's user entry in the database has a field that shows how many unread private messages they have. Then when you read a message, it automatically deducts 1 from that field. Yours was set to 0 even though you had an unread message (no idea how that happened) and the field is set to not go below 0 so it was throwing an error.

Thanks! And I think I tried reading a private message at the same time someone was trying to edit it when it first happened.
