I can't figure this one out by myself.  Here is what I copied and pasted from the top of this page.
"Hey, Fraxinus, you have -1 messages, 0 are new."
Must be I owe somebody one or something ???

Sprucebunny, I will be over your way today.  I have a crew working on Jericho Road unless the town of Bartlett has kicked them off.  If that happens, they'll go work in Jackson where the road agent realizes that it's a good thing to work with us instead of against us.

it means you have 1 message and that you have already read it, so there are no new messages . Tom :)

Nope, that's not what it means.  Here, copied and pasted, is what it says:

I guess I'm going to have to send a message to everybody and then leave one of the replies in the box so that it will read 0l ::) ::)

I think that's how things got to be the way they are but I'll give it another shot before somebody gives me another shot. :-[ :-[ :-X

I would strongly suggest you do not save "important ones" in instant messages. right now I dont have a limit, but if things get out of hand on people never cleaning out thier messages I may decide to implement a limit as I had before. If I do that, anything over the limit will disappear.

If you take 2000 members and they have a couple hundred messages each, not to mention all the stuff they may save in thier outbox, you can end up using a ton of server space just for that.

I came into the FF yesterday and it read -

"21 messages, 1 is new."

I poked the messages and when that window came up,  it said -

"20 messages, 0 are new".   And sure enoungh,  there were none.

  I just checked my outbox, and there ain't no messages ??????  What's eatin up my responses ??????

  With MY memory, I can't remember what lie I told to what question ??????
All truth passes through three stages:
   First, it is ridiculed;
   Second, it is violently opposed; and
   Third, it is accepted as self-evident.

Some of this is that your browsers are caching the page and not refreshing. Bibbyman, your description is a good example.

Nothing is eating them up. You never chose to keep them. Its an option in preferences.
