Is there a problem with the PM system?

Welkin · Oct 6, 2006

I have a lot of PMs that are marked as unread although the people have logged in after I have sent the PMs.
There are several such cases already. Initially I just thought that the recipients didn't want to read them. But since some of the latest addressees are concerned with the reading of the corresponding PMs, I begin to think that there is some problem with the messaging system.

Is there really something like this?

There must be something going on because I have messages in my inbox that keep flashing as unread even though I have read them.

I have maybe near ten messages for the last few weeks that have never become "read". And is seems really unlikely to me that the reason could be because of nobody of their recipients has read them... and some of them would read them for sure. I even delete some of my older unread ones but maybe the problem has been that they've never reached their recipient.

Not sure about your problem but i thought i have the same

If the message you send is short enough, the recipient can read your message without having to open the PM. I have 42 unread messages. Am I ignoring those people? No, There messages are breif, short and to the point; and can be viewed without having to open each one up.

Yes Andrew, I agree. So I have not written about this till now.
But I have sent for example pieces of css code yesterday to a guy that has wanted it and it cannot be read without opening the message for sure. And he has logged in since yesterday. Also I have sent some other long messages before. So this facts have made me a little bit suspicios. So I started this thread...
