Subject: Private Message display issue

My display is currently stuck at 3 messages despite having none. It was at 2 messages for the previous 2 days, but I got one more, and after reading it the display did not change.

I know that sometimes there is a short delay between reading and the number changing, but I've never had it last 2-3 days before.

Hey, how's it going?

Yes, I have this issue also. I've seen Duardo post something about it but I can't remember what thread it was in.

This seems to be a reoccurring bug here on Bungie.net. It also appears to be fixing itself, but it takes a while...

I think unfortunately all you can do is wait it out.

I haven't caught this yet since I don't get messages ever (Seriously. I have an 8 month gap in some places.), which is normally sad, but it makes me happy these days.

I think this is the problem that stosh was testing a few days ago.

Could this have something to do with that experiment that Stosh was engaged in a few days ago? They might be making changes to the messaging system. I have noticed this issue as well. I had two messages showing as unread for several hours after I had read them.

Maybe you have blocked somebody that had sent you some messages which hid the messages, but maybe those "hidden" message still are part of the count?

Happening to me as well.

If I had to venture a guess it probably has something to do with whatever the web team is doing to the site, which is also making the forums slower for some users. Achronos said something in a thread somewhere, but I never keep track of those threads... :/

My guess is that it should go away eventually, but I don't know. Do you use any scripts, those could interfere possibly.

It usually happens to me when I receive an auto-reply message. Maybe that has to do with it?

Eh, i actually got a message last night, and after reading it the notification never went down.

Just a glitch in the system, i'm guessing. Anyone shoot an email to the bug center?

Quick as a razor, sharp as a bullet.

Mine's at 2 right now. Was 1 yesterday.

I just got a message, read it, and the count dropped back to 0. :D
