PM problems...anyone else???

[Panhandle]

I keep having a reoccurring problem with my PM's. My box will show that I have a PM from a individual, but when I go to read it, there's nothing there. Am I alone?

I just turned the option back on that gives you those pop-up flags that you have a new PM. Ignore the first one.

The individual you're referring to was a spam bot, and sent out over 1000K spam PM's before I could get to it. When I removed that account it's PM's sent were pulled out as well which is why you could see it. That BS prompted the latest round of upgrades to all the software which, among other things, now is much more effective at blocking the spam bots from making it through the registration process.
