    Hi there,
    I have a constant notification as if I have a private message, but I do not have any unread messages. Is there a way of getting rid of this?
    Thanks!

    Try log out, clear cache (ctrl F4 on a pc) / log in to your account again.

    It's possible it's a leftover from the recent PM spam attach that happened. Hundreds of accounts were banned and thousands of pms were deleted but some notification glitches are to be expected.

    I had the same as well but it eventually went away.

    I'll send you a pm now. Open it,look at it and delete it. Should solve the problem. Someone said something similar in another thread a week or 2 ago.

    That should work - or the OP can send a PM to themself - opening it achieves the same result

    Thanks for sending the pm! I think it was a spam post that caused it as I had an email from someone offering me their cam link :pac:
    The notification is gone now; thanks a million for your help :)
