"-1 New Messages"


Recommended Posts

Ah. I was wondering when someone would bring this up.

It's an odd bug in the board software that has been around for ages and crops up on rare occasions. Nobody quite knows how to duplicate it, thus the developers have been unable to provide a fix. Pretty mysterious. But it can normally be fixed if you send yourself a PM. Your unread messages should go to 1, then back to 0 once you've read the PM.

On this occasion though, I took the liberty of manually reseting the new messages value for your account in the database. This should fix the problem.

I think 100 is a reasonable amount. We have unlimited database space but allowing very large amounts of PMs to be stored will make backups larger and more unwieldy to restore, should there be a need to do so.

Don't forget you can export all of your existing PMs should you want to delete them to make way for new ones. If you go to My Controls you'll see two options under Messenger which read "Email Archived Messages" and "View All Messages In Exportable Format", the latter being the custom script I wrote which is, in my opinion, better than the email archiver. ;)
