Judging by the name above your avatar, you don't have a character verified, or don't have the verified character set as your default profile, so you have no PM ability.

My bug report was posted after you guys got the pm's working again.

So the server merge happened. I verified my character and changed the default in My Accounts to my new server.character name.

My archive is now empty. When I get a new PM I don't see Inbox(1).

I'm having an issue currently. My PMs don't disappear or anything, but if I have one in my inbox unread, it won't tell me I have a new one. I have to click on my inbox to see if I have any, I find it inconvenient. But I understand there are more important things to maintain on the site than the PM system. Just saying~

Hehe, no worries Budoukiba. I haven't had the same problem myself, but I'll ask Scragg to look into it.

To try to clear things up and to better fix bugs in the system. There is a difference between "unread" and "new". New conversations will be un-newed when you read the inbox that contains the new conversation.

All conversations are marked as unread by default until you click them. If someone replies to a conversation, that conversation will be marked as unread and flagged as new.

If by 'unread' you meant 'new', then that is a known bug I am working on. If you meant unread, then it doesn't mean it will be marked as new.

What I mean is, it's unread AND I haven't checked my inbox for it until the moment that I first see it. Before, it would list as "New" when a reply was posted in the ongoing conversation, if that helps clear anything up.

There was another thread about this.

Apparently they link PMs to all characters you have on this account. So if you have another one it will go to that characters inbox but still give you the new message thingy and email notification

This could also be your issue, although I've been experiencing the same problem as reported.

Just in case though, check the drop-down menu next to the small icon on the upper left to see if there's a red number in parentheses next to any other alternate accounts you may have.
