Whenever I am surfing B.net and just watching my groups and posting I tend to get "Fake" PM's. They will just pop up saying that I have on, I click and no message. I have had the problem for about a month. But now they are more frequent. I was just wondering if Achronos knows about this and if it will be fixed eventually. It is no big deal, but it is annoying sometimes.

I think in this case, the refresh button is your friend. Yes, I agree, it is annoying, but I'm sure it will be looked in on soon.

Yea, I usually ignore them until it says I have 2, or I refresh.

Skillet was here and referred to himself in the third person.

I just continue what I was doing...they usually dissapear if they aren't real...but if I go through three differant pages and it's still there...I'll check it.

I've been around these parts for almost eight years now...wow! Maybe I should be concerned about that...

It's been going on for a while now...just ignore it, or try to.

Bah, you're all just mad because you think you're suddenly popular, but every time you click on your mailbox, you sink right back into depression.

Yes, it is annoying, however, I'm positive it will be fixed...sooner or later.

Mourne not your comrades who must dwell / too strong to strive -
Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, / Buried alive;
But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

Achronos knows about this, and I believe it will fix itself eventually. There are multiple servers for b.net, and sometimes one of them will be behind. So it will still think you have a message, because it hasn't been updated with the new information.

I think he said that as we went on, things would smooth out.

The exact technical terms I used may not have been correct, but I believe that is the basis of what is happening.


EDIT: Just because I'm feeling generous today, I found the exact explanation. Read Recon's long post, then scroll down to find Achronos's confirmation.

Don't say I never gave you anything.
