How to Fix the 65,535 Unread Private Messages Error

Many of us have logged in to find that the forum showing that we have 65,535 unread private messages, here's how to fix it:

1. First ensure that you have read all messages in your inbox.
2. Click the check box next to one of your read messages.
3. Scroll to the bottom of the window to the drop down menu that lets you delete a message and select 'mark as unread'.
4. Open the message that now shows as unread.
5. Return to the main forum index and it should now show 0 unread messages.

If you have any questions post them in here.

Christian why does it default to that number, something in the programming?

GG, If I understand correctly, it is just a bug in the software that rears it's head now and then. Thankfully, Christian found a way to fix it though.

Thank you, Christian!!

It has to do with an overflow in the database and the type of variable set to hold the number of private messages in the database (smallint - which has a max value of 65,535) in this version of vB.
