View Full Version : "You got a Private Message!" ... OR DID I?

I have my account to come on and tell me whenever I get a private message by sending an e-mail.. So far, it has been working fairly well. It informs me of any private messages I have recieved...

...and even some I don't.

Yesterday, I got an auto e-mail saying "A new Private Message has arrived!" I'm like "Yay! Someone to talk to!" So I click the link, and at first, I get a error saying it could not connect to the server. I figure "Well, it's probably because I'm torrenting 154Kbps, I'll try again." So I refreshed, loads up as normal.

I click on the first message of my inbox, and I read through it. I had this strange feeling I read the exact same thing before. So I look at the date, and I did, about 3 hours ago. So I click back, and look for the new message. But, unfortunately, there is none there. So I check the mail, and sure enough, it's telling me that I recieved a private message about 6 minutes ago.

So, is Ghostwriter trying to communcate with me, or is that just a random bug?

The email may be lagging behind the actual message. Sometimes email servers take a lot longer than the PMs actually do.

Oooor, someone sent you a PM, and then reconsidered and deleted it before you could see it. I've had that happen.
