uncool Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 I recently have been told that I got a new message from here, but when I look, all of them are read, except for one with no title that says it was sent at January 1, 1970. I'm guessing that that is a bug. =Uncool- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 Hmm. Does it say who sent the message? This may be a consequence of me mass-deleting spam messages, but I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncool Posted December 26, 2009 Author Share Posted December 26, 2009 Hmm. Does it say who sent the message? This may be a consequence of me mass-deleting spam messages, but I'm not sure. Nope. Says absolutely nothing other than the date, which means I can't click on it to read it. Also, if it was from deleting spam messages, I got one which was never deleted. I deleted it, though, so... =Uncool- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 Ah, that'd be it then. I checked the database and there exists a listing for it in one database table but no corresponding title/text entry in another table. I deleted one without deleting the other, it seems. Next time I'll remember to be more careful when deleting spam PMs. Be sure to report them if you receive them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cap'n Refsmmat Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 Ah, okay. Done. vB should have no recollection of that PM anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncool Posted December 27, 2009 Author Share Posted December 27, 2009 Ah, okay. Done. vB should have no recollection of that PM anymore. It appears to not remember the PM in my inbox, but it's still in notifications apparently. =Uncool- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swansont Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 I, too, have a notification but no message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 How about now? I'll need to find a way of fixing the unread PM count in the user table AND removing the invalid inbox entries in the PM table whenever I delete spam PMs from the PM text table.

uncool Posted December 27, 2009 Author Share Posted December 27, 2009 Everything is good here. Thanks! =Uncool- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swansont Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 I've still got notification for 1 unread PM, but no unread messages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Notification as in "the annoying pop-up" or "the box in the upper right-hand corner of the page"? I need to figure out where that notification gets its data, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swansont Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 In the box, but now it's gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Ah. I think I know what caused that. I'll be more careful next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swansont Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Got a PM yesterday, which I read, and now the notifications box lists 1 unread PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Right, I've added recounting unread PMs to my to-do list for later today. This system is surprisingly fragile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cap'n Refsmmat Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Nah, it's stored in vB's database tables. Every time I reset the counter it seems to change back. Not sure what's confusing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayonara Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 How about now? I'll need to find a way of fixing the unread PM count in the user table AND removing the invalid inbox entries in the PM table whenever I delete spam PMs from the PM text table. Alternatively you could go to the admin view for the spamming user and "Delete all messages sent by this user" after you ban them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 That's cheating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
