    It may mean you have no messages. Your messages should show up on the left if you click the envelope. The other way to see them is just click on profile and your messages will be on the left.

    Cheers,

    It will continue to show your messages as unread until you click on the message to view it.

    Your messages are listed underneath your profile image in the left sidebar on your profile page.

    Is it that you can't reach your profile page or that when you do reach it you can't see any messages?

    The link to your profile is: http://talk.planetfour.org/#/profile

    Hi rowbumby, they were from me regarding an image that I thought you might be interested in, but I could not suss out how to show you it unless I had your email address, but with help from someone else on here, I managed to get it viewable on an external url.

    Try clicking on the number as opposed to the envelope, & the message should appear on the left hand side.

    All the best mate.

    Ian. 😃

    I've got a messages list with messages received, all ok. But every time I visit here now my message button says 1 or 2 messages - but there's never any there. I've dropped a line on 'ask a scientist' telling them about it. Hit 'em from all angles, eh?

    Speaking of messages........

    After viewing them, is there any way to delete them? They never seem to go away, and after reading, the envelope still says "1 message" (or more)

    AUricle. Can't find how to delete them. Just guessing but I think they'll simply drop off the bottom of page...

    Rowbumby. I sympathise - sorry that's all can do 😦

    I will let you know if they drop off the bottom, as I am almost there with messages, so feel free to spam away @Ian mason. My money is on a scroll bar appearing though.

    It is quite comical at times how this forum works, & I can't help but think that it would have been simpler & more user friendly to purchase well known brand of forum software.

    Man, you can say that again! Especially entertaining when you're reading something on page 7 and you try to go "back"...LOL. .....better hope you wanted to go 'back' to the beginning!

    I hate to have to expose my shortcomings, but I just need some answers, so here we go.

    I see the compose message button on my profile page, and have received messages from several people here. So....how did they direct their messages to me?

    If I click the 'compose' button, the new empty message window opens, but I see nothing that allows me to select a recipient......does it just go out to everyone willy-nilly?? (if so, it might as well just go on a discussion board, no?

    Once you've opened a message, how do you get the 'counter' next to the envelope icon to go back to 0 or 'blank' or whatever the default setting is?

    Alright. That's enough stupidity for now.......HELP! 😉

    Hi AU,

    When you click the 'compose' button, enter the recipients name in the first clearly un-marked box, & then the subject in the next clearly unmarked box down.

    Jury is still out on the message amount reset, but mine works ok?
