I am pretty sure most of us have encountered these. You click on the envelope button, read your messages, and then go about your business, but the PM indicator keeps popping up, even though you have no new messages.

I just wanted to make sure;

!) I am not crazy, and other people get this bug, too
@) something is being done about it (that's what I remeber hearing)

Yeah, it usually fixes itself in about 30 seconds after you read the PM.

Yes, it's a glitch and happens to a lot of people. Yes, Achronos and co. are working on it.

Hey you saw my sig! :)
Their was a time when this was under a post. Simpler times; no Halo 3 Forum and no search. Simpler times. Happy about search though.

That happens because of server lag.

It was a cold day near the southern base in Blood Gulch. Cortana and I were relaxing over a game of Go Fish, WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE 700 BANSHEES CAME FLYING IN!!! I GRABED MY SPARTAN LASER AND LET HELL REIGN DOWN UPON THEM. I HOPPED IN THE NEAREST WARTHOG AND TOLD CORTANA TO GET IN.

I still have 1 PM, even though I've checked them all =[

EDIT: It's been this way for a year or two, by the way.

Old glitch mate, been around for a while. It's nothing to worry about though. :-)

I used to get these a lot. Now I still get them, but not as often.

I first noticed that months ago.

Just wait five minutes and if it's still there click it to see if you have a new one. If you do you don't want to seem desperate and PM back too soon, anyway.

hehe, ive got one now :->

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

When your done readint the PM press the close button under the PM rather then just clicking a link to your next destination.

It'll go away.
