I have 2 new PMs which I have read. Still marked as New.

I checked the boxes next to them and chose “Mark as read.” Still marked as new.

I checked the boxes next to them and chose “Delete.” Still there, still marked as new.

Still showing in the top-right part of the page under “Your Notifications” as 2 new messages.

Anyone else having problems like this? As early as last week I have gotten a PM, read it and had it marked as read.

I just made this topic a bit ago, but it’s just that the board is wonky again (not showing up new replies or topics).
