Title: Notification and PMs
Post by: Newportnobby on November 03, 2019, 10:40:24 AM
When I log onto the forum I get a notification I have received a PM and the count on the tool bar states 'Messages(3)' but when I actually there are no unread PMs ???

I had that for about 4 days last weekend.
The problem has now gone away without me doing anything!

I think it's when the browser doesn't refresh, try holding down CTRL and Pressing F5 to force screen refresh

Nope. Still show 'Messages(3)' :(

I don't think so, Craig. I've been scared stiff to miss reading any PMs in case someone wanted something off the N'Porium so have been reading them assiduously

Just hit the half circular arrow thingy (a technical term) at the right hand side of the address bar at the very top of the screen.

Sorry Malc, I can't see such a thingy. The only thing top RH is the arrow to shrink/expand the header

@Newportnobby (https://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?action=profile;u=264) I think Malc's means  the half circle very top right on the attached screen shot

@Newportnobby (https://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?action=profile;u=264) yes you do, but just to be awkward yours is on the very TOP LEFT of the screen.

Above the blue background of the forum page there is a search result line, starting with a < followed by an arrow bent into a half circle, that's what you want,  if I've interpreted Malcs comment correctly that is.

Hi Ray,
That is simply a 'refresh' button and I could press that until the cows come home and still the forum would show +1 messages unread. Thanks.

I must admit I'm reading this with some amusement, but only cos it's not happening to me.

But of course that makes Mick's issue all the more credible and frustrating.

Why is it happening to him and not me?  :hmmm:

Only Me said try refreshing the screen. That's what the semicircular thingy does, so obviously it's not helping.

Drat - it's gone back up to 2 now and every time I log on I get notification of a new message when they have all been read >:(
