I%27ve always assumed that it was some kind of glitch%2C but I don%27t want anyone to think that I%27m being rude and not responding to thier mail. %0D%0AMy momma taught me to always answer my mail. %0D%0ASo is it a glitch or have I been dissing people for months%3F%0D%0A%0D%0A%0D%0Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fcommunity.realitytvworld.com%2Fboards%2FUser_files%2F437c99f710d5e68b.jpg%0D%0A%5Bfont size%3D0%5DSig by Cygnus%5B%2Ffont%5D%0D%0A%5Bfont size%3D0%5D%22A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion.

1|1|If you delete your cookies|IceCat||00:01:03|05/26/2006|... your red flaggy will start to wave even if there are no new messages.%0D%0A%0D%0A%0D%0Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fcommunity.realitytvworld.com%2Fboards%2FDCForumID33%2F242.shtml
2|1|RE%3A Disappearing PMs%3F|mrc||00:02:34|05/26/2006|If you%27re logging in from a new computer or after clearing your cookies%2C I think the mailbox flag comes up%2C even if you only have old messages in your inbox. I thought the same thing as you.%0D%0A%0D%0ASomeone will be along shortly with a more technical answer.
3|2|RE%3A Disappearing PMs%3F|Prof_ Wagstaff||08:16:55|05/26/2006|I think that was about as technical an answer as I can handle. Thanks to you both. I will return to not worrying about it.
4|3|RE%3A Disappearing PMs%3F|Snidget||08:25:21|05/26/2006|Here is a fairly non-technical explaination.%0D%0A%0D%0AIn order for you to be alerted to a new message something has to remember which ones you read. %0D%0A%0D%0AWith some software the main computer where the board lives keeps track of what you read.%0D%0A%0D%0AIt looks like for this board the one who remembers is the local computer.  Sometimes your own computer will forget %28the cookie thing%29 and you get the flag.  Sometimes you log into a new computer that doesn%27t have any idea what you were doing with other computers behind its back%2C so it will give you a flag.%0D%0A%0D%0A

Even I could understand that.%0D%0A%0D%0A Sometimes %0D%0A%3Eyou log into a new %0D%0A%3Ecomputer that doesn%27t have any %0D%0A%3Eidea what you were doing %0D%0A%3Ewith other computers behind its %0D%0A%3Eback%2C so it will give %0D%0A%3Eyou a flag. %0D%0ASo you%27re saying that can get a red flag for playing with another computer when the first computer ain%27t lookin%27.%0D%0ANow %5Bb%5Dthat%27s%5B%2Fb%5D spooky%21 %0D%0A%0D%0A
