    The forum is telling me I have a private message but when I click in I have none. I can’t make this notification badge go away. Anyone else have this problem?

    On touch I assume? You can try re-viewing your inbox/your last PM and it usually goes away.

    Probably spam from one of the recent bots. Deleted by the site but flag still shows.

    Not your ornery onager

    Hi irelandjnr,

    This is a knock on effect from a user being nuked for sending spam Private Messages and their sent messages deleted. You can however clear the notification by sending yourself a PM and reading that.

    How can I? User's guide to some features on the new site
