If you sent a private message to scannon today or yesterday...

Please let me know.

I, along with a few others have noticed some inconsistent behavior, where the forum pops up a message box indicating you have a new message when you don't, or not telling you that there is a new message, when there is one.

Skip got a notification, but found no new message.

I'm trying to confirm that this is just a case of false notification rather than a message just disappearing.

Thanks, and I'll work on this bug in the coming weeks (still too busy with work these days).

I may be the culprit.

I was trying to reply to Skip's post on speedos in the tech section. Every time I got close to posting, Qwest would untrain my router. After a couple of trys, I gave up. My attempts were around 04:00 GMT, if that's any help.

Here's what I think was happening; Even if you don't complete a post, the forum software still sends the Topic Subscription New Post Notification by e-mail if any members have selected that option. I've seen it happen in other forums that have the look of this one.

Qwest fixed my router problem now and I can stay connected.

BTW...You've done a fantastic job of making this forum work well. I hope I haven't thrown a spanner in the works here...

Bob, Thanks for the kind remarks :)

I think skip's problem was with a missing private message, rather than a post.

The forum is still a work in progress. I see alot of areas for improvement, but making a living is getting in the way. Slowly but surely...

Today I got a regular email notifying me that I had a PM on the forum. I went there and it was there.:hurray:

This time I didn't get the flash screen upon going to the forum as I had with the previous couple of times when the PM was missing so I think you have solved the problem.

Thanks and get along with making a living!
