this isn't something new BUT I have kind of grown tired of it. the Messages tab next to my user name tab at the top of the screen always lists 4 messages in red. It will list more if i actually have unread ones but never less. I have no messages or notification in my dashboard. any way to clear that out?

Hey bscappell, I'm going to run some maintenance tonight that might help with this issue. I'll check back in here once I run things and see if if it worked.

Forgot to run this last night! I don't want to run it during the day because I have a feeling it might slow things down here. Tonight!

Hey bscappell, I cleaned up some of the private message data last night and I'm hoping it might clear up your issue. Let me know if anything changed for you.

Sorry took a little while to notice the messages. For some reason I'm not receiving emails alerts on new posts or messages...... Lol
I would like to say it helped..... But it didn't still 4 tmessages in read.... Ugh!

FWIW I've found that my Android tablet running Chrome doesn't remove the messages when 'read' or 'dismissed' but my computer running Chrome on XP does.

Can you post a snip of this part of your Message Center?

I wonder if it's something in 4 of the 35 Posts? Maybe 4 new posts in subscribed threads?

messages have been deleted used cc cleaner to make sure browsers were cleaned flushed memory still the inbox previews are there, even from months ago that I deleted the messages

CCleaner has nothing to do with forum messages.

Empty the trash folder, see if that makes a difference. See if you have any unread subscribed posts pending.

ok just to explain cc cleaner totally cleans my browsers including things you cant clean typically from the tools , that's why I mentioned I have totally cleaned it , as far as message center goes I have emptied trash and removed all messages however they still appearing in the previews.

I use CCleaner as well, so I'm familiar with it.

Do you have any numbers beside the inbox?
