My Life
I spent three hard hours on the PM ghost problem. I think I solved it. This glitch has caused me more grief than any other bug in the sheer amount of emails/comments/PMs I get about it.

If you still see ghost PMs, please let me know ASAP. There should be no reason to ever have them again, ever.

This is my life...

"my message thing that tells me if i have any new messages is messed up. my pm message thing says i have 5 unread messages but all the messages have been read and deleted"

"Even with no more messages in any of my boxes, it still says I have 2 unread messages, 9 messages total, and 2 blank pages in my inbox. How do I get to these 'unseen' messages so I can take care of them?"

"My message box says "You have 6 unread private message(s) in your inbox. Read now." I have checked it time and again but there are no new messages in my pm box. Every so often it adds an extra hidden and/or nonexistent message. Other people get them too; usually people who use the messaging system."

"I'm having problems with my PM system, and I know several users are having the same problem. It says there are 1 or 2 new messages unread, but there AREN'T any new messages when you check your inbox. Please help us with this bug!"

"My PM box says I have 2 unread messages, yet when I check there isn't anything there. I've tried clicked the delete button to see if it would do anything, and it doesn't. What can I do, if I can do anything?"

"My PM box says there is one unread message but there isn't. I have checked everything and still can't find the unread message. Also, there seems to be two pages of PM when I only have 3PMs. the 14 out of 250 is not true."

"I hope you're reading this, but my account is acting weird. It keeps saying that I have 1 unread PM, about when I open my inbox, nothing's there."

"for the longest time now, under my pm thing it says i have 3 unread messages"

"I used the contact feature previously to ask about a weird PM problem I was having, but no one got back to me. It's been about a month or two,
so I figured I'd email directly."

"the reason for this email is because everytime i log on, it keeps saying i have 1 unread PM, and theres nothing there. Its been this way for a few weeks."

"On my backroom page it says I have two new private messages but they do not show up anywhere on the PM page, there is nothing there."

"My account sais it has 3 new messages in my Pm box yet I cannot find any new messages. what is wrong with that?"

"Hi! i love this site very much! i have a question. My inbox says i have 1 message but when i click on the link and it brings me too the inbox area the pm dosen't show up. it's been like this for a while know. only one pm is stuck"
