The last two days I keep getting a You Have A New Message alert but I don't see any new messages.

There was someone who had re-registered for the apparent sole purpose of spamming several of the regulars to continue their personal feud in a now-defunct board...once the user was again deleted, the message disappeared from view.

It would be nice if they could clear the new message out too then.

I had the same "you have a message" thing also when I turned on my computer yesterday. I clicked on it and there was no message. The message reminder wouldn't go away no matter what I tried. Finally later in the day a friend of mine pm'd me. When I clicked to read his message, it went away.

I received a message as well, but I was able to read it. It was just another troll trying to start up trouble. You guys didn't miss anything by not being able to read it.

Can someone send me a message so I can get rid of it?

I didn't miss the message. It was just irritation that I couldn't get the "you have a message indicator" to go away. All day long it stayed there until a friend messaged me later in the day at which time when I clicked on his message, it then went away along with his message indicator also.

As far as I know, I have not had any feuds with anyone in the past.  Anyways, after logging in to post this reply, I got the same New Message alert.  Just tried to send myself a message to see if I can get rid of it.  Will check after posting this.

Ok, that worked.  Sending myself a message got rid of that New Message alert.  Cool.

Just some banned clown with a new name posting personal info.  Since misc. non-bowling forum is gone, he could only do it via pm.  Spamming a website at its finest.  Mods cleaned it up pronto.     
If you're so gutless as to hide behind the ignore button while taking shots at people....why are you even here?
