I got notifications today in my email that several people sent me a private message on the site and it even shows that I have 14 messages in my private messages, but when I click on it it tells me I have no messages. So for those of you who sent me messages today but didn’t get a response, that’s why, simply because I can’t access them.

the same thing happend with mine. hopefully they fix it soon.
It’s because SamanthaBaker sent out a mass PM (which you can do in the new JS) to about 30 people and those 14 messages are her original message and 13 replies. I think her mass message made the unsuspecting system spazz out temporarily.
I’m sure they will have it fixed very soon. If you get any other messages, you CAN get those just fine.
Empress: That makes sense… I thought it a bit odd that a bunch of people had the exact same problem with the exact same number of messages that weren’t visible.
