When I check for new messages it says I haven't checked for them since last night (and therefore comes up with more than 100 messages) even though I've checked a couple of times today. It looks like it's not recording the new time since last night

I'm having a problem with new messages, too. It comes back with the exact same set of (old) posts that I saw at least twice before when I checked for new messages. What's going on?

I was tweaking some settings that are supposed to decrease file locking errors, so that may have done something, but it shouldn't continue to happen after this week, when I will stop tweaking.

Over and over and over the same messages appear. It took me 2 days to realize and finally, I went and read the new messages one by one. Not to swift on my part, hey?

My workaround has been to check new messages for the past n hours, where n is whatever it should be. That still works. THe problem appears to be entirely in the user management code.

Still tweaking? Discus says that "(You last checked for new messages on Saturday, May 31, 2003 at 10:42 pm)"

Not true.

It's been working OK for me as far as I can tell.

Sac: So when you run it it says at the top that "(You last checked for new messages on Friday, June 13, 2003 at 7:00 pm)" or whatever is the right date/time? Mine still says May 31.

Larry,
Try this: make an update in your profile and resave it. (You can then update again to change it back.)

In the meantime, I am making plans for a July/August change to a new server, which will boost response time, return the keyword search and eliminate the file locking error.

I just did it and it says

"You last checked for new messages on Friday, June 13, 2003 at 6:19 pm"


As Dave can probably confirm, I'm usually pretty quick to complain when "New Messages" isn't working for me.
