Disappearing PM
Not Teresa May but rather a ghost private message.
When I came onto the forum this morning the prominent red dots indicated I had a private message but when I went into my inbox there wasn't anything unread - the last read message being nearly a week old.
All very odd. Would this happen if somebody sent a PM then had second thoughts?

Re: Disappearing PM
Yes.
It could be that someone sent you a PM and then deleted it before you read it.

Re: Disappearing PM
It was I who mailed you, did not change my mind
Is your inbox full, have you got rules to delete or the like?

Re: Disappearing PM
I would guess that your inbox is full. If you delete a few older messages, or move them to archive, the new ones should be there.

Not on this occasion.
Folder is 1% full (1 out of 100 messages stored)
Re: Disappearing PM
Check your rules? This is how it looks for me. That's the only way I know that messages can be filtered.
Otherwise, perhaps the answer is as suggested above. Someone has sent a message, then deleted it.
You could check with Graham or admin. They have access to see more stuff than I do.

This thread is in 'Using the forum'. I'm afraid that forum staff cannot help with political problems.

Re: Disappearing PM
I suppose I'm not all that bothered, unless it's a sign of some hacking. I'd not want somebody to have sent me a message which had somehow gone astray while they thought I was being ignorant.
But thinks. What about messages from somebody on the ignore list?

Re: Disappearing PM
IIRC the 'ignore'/'foe' list does not disable PMs from those listed.
