Grr, it won't let me PM and I only have 93 in my history!

[Sukhoi]

It keeps saying I have 102, even though I've cleared it out to 93. :| Why?

Is your problem anything like I notified them of in this thread? I have yet to receive an answer. Zuni?

This is not a forum issue, this seems to be somewhat of a caching issue in your browser, or from your provider. The counts are accurate, and deleting works. IF this was an issue there would be alot more than 2 people out of nearly 80,000 users.

Please note we no longer monitor this category for issues.

I had the problem as well. After I had gone through, user-by-user, to delete my PM's, it would still say I had 10 or so left. I then deleted everything earlier than tomorrow and it got rid of em. I'm guessing it was an issue in the migration.

Heh, that's funny. Why have a "Forum Issues" forum at all then

I would respectfully submit that it DOES NOT work as it should. Allow yourself to acquire more than one page of the "Forum Notifier" type of PM's. Then go to the bottom of the last page of these PM's. Be sure and clear your cache also, so that this can't be used as an excuse. Now click the Delete on the last PM on that last page of the "ForumNotifier" PM's. As expected a pop up box appears to confirm the deletion. Click OK/Yes and you are booted back to the first page (a PIA, but not at issue here). Navigate back to the last page again and look at the last message there. It is the same one you supposedly deleted a second ago. No, it makes no difference if you refresh your browser or clear your cache and refresh it again. You can repeat this as many times as you want and it does not work. Yet, you can delete the very first PM (the newest listing by time) on the first page and it will remove it. Unfortunately that is not what I am trying to accomplish. I want to delete the oldest ones first in order to keep the newest around for further review. This is not an attempt to do anything that shouldn't work as it is set up to do. Also, I am not trying to use this as just another way to complain about the PM limits either. On the contrary, I was doing (or should I say attempting to do) this as a way of working within the system we are provided. I cannot though as this "feature" does not work. Respectfully submitted.

I've repeated the same issue here by letting the ForumNotifier PM's run up onto the second page. It's definitely repeatable from my end.
Browser cache was totally empty the second time.

Hmm, I was trying to PM from another location this morning when I had the problem so it probably was an ISP cache or something, even though I was trying to refresh the page. It's working fine now.

<< . It's working fine now >>

Unfortunately my problem has not gone away. Different from yours. Thanks Rand for taking the time to try this and at least proving it wasn't time for an early dose of Alzheimer?s medication just yet. Maybe he will look into it a bit now??? I will keep positive thoughts but won't hold my breath.


Edit: In case there was any confusion, I was implying that I might have needed an early dose of medication, not anyone else. In looking back I just wanted to correct this confusion. And trust me Zuni, I know you are a busy person! That's why I am not holding my breath. Besides, I don't look good in blue.
