Are you referring to the 'Message From- Message From' message?

This has happened to me less than 10 times since Halo 2's launch so i wouldn't exactly call it a problem.

No the little mail icon next to the Welcom Machinima Maniac! and then a 1 beside the mail icon. Then I click it to check my messages and there is no new message.

July 15, 2008... The day the timer stood still.

This is just a little glitch in the system that hasn't really been solved. Achronos mentioned something about fixing it, but apparently hasn't I guess.

Osmosis!

It's to do with the servers, one server knows you've checked all your mail, but the others haven't caught up, so they still think you have mail. Give it 30 minutes and it'll clear itself, or if you really want, clear your cache.

You can't fix it indefinetly because the servers aren't syncronised enough.

It happens to everyone, it's not exclusive. I don't know if there's any way to fix it, so the best way to deal with it is to just ignore it if you're at least 80% sure it's not real.

Bungie this has been going on for over 6 months now. I was just wondering when you are going to address the problem of the "New Message" logo even when there is no new message?

Old school Bungie, born and raised,
In the Septagon is where I spend most of my days.
Relaxin', maxin', posting all cool,
Talking about Halo, life and some school.
Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"

It usually doesn"t happen to me if I use the "Delete all messages" button...

There's a way to fix it, it just isn't a huge priority right now. I'm working on... something more important.

You'll like it. ;)

Is it, in any way, shape, or form, shiny?

We’ve watched while the stars burned
Out, and creation played in reverse.
The Universe freezing in half-light.
Once I thought to escape.
To end a master, step out of the
Path of collapse. Escape would make us God.
Yet I cannot help but remember one enigma,
A hybrid, elusive destroyer.
This is the one mystery I have not solved.
The only element unaccounted for.

I would like to know why this didn't use to happen, but now does. That tells me that it is a fixable issue,

I like to Rollick

Honestly I like the glitch its one of those nuances that makes bungie.net more fun for me. I like plauing the game where I promise myself that I won't re-check my in box no matter what, but then it turns out that someone sent me another message.

Here's a solution that involves only minimal effort from your brain. Remember, that big juicy pink thing rattling around in your skull?

Realise that you are not popular enough to receive a message straight after you just checked your inbox. Go about your business and the "new message" icon will disappear.

After you've read a message and it says you still have one, wouldn't one automatically wait until it said 2 new messages if they knew about the problem?

I'm not that active, but never dead.

I'm sure it is on a list somewhere, waiting patiently in line to be fixed when it is it's turn to be fixed.

Achronos has already stated that he has something more important that he is working on. Wait it out.

Personally, I like it. If I want to go to my inbox, I can! And quickly, too! If you just ignore the fact that if you have one new PM it says you have 2, and so on, it's quite useful. I actually hope it's added like the little orange XBL thing (whatever it is) so it stays there all the time, even when no new PMs are there.

Now that you've taken the time to look at my sig, I actually regret not providing you with something more worthwhile.

Does it in any way involve you, Frankie, and a barrel full of nudity, because the possibility of that is basically the entire reason I started coming to B.net

As a side note, period or question mark for the above sentence? I started with a question and ended with a statement. I need to go back to high school it seems.
