Hi I have a small problem with the undead count of provate messages, if I'm on the index page it shows a 0 but in any of the other pages it shows as 1 unread. Screenshots below. Count 0 Count 1 Thanks

Edit:

No I'm wrong, a few people got it.

I think this happened before when a PM spammer got nuked. I think the vB Database stores an "Unread PMs" figure in one column, which doesn't get updated when someone gets nuked.

The front page probably does a "SELECT COUNT(*)... WHERE UNREAD" whereas vB probably does "SELECT unread_pm FROM..."
