Why Do I Currently See Only 17 Unread Messages?

Postby Recyclersteve » Mon Oct 17, 2022 5:07 pm

Why is it that when I log into the RealCent site I only see a small amount of unread messages? Today it was only 17 messages.

For comparison sake, another well known site (BS) shows that I have OVER 1,000 unread messages. I’ve been on both sites for years, so what is going on here? I know RealCent isn’t as active as before, but 17 vs. 1,000+. What is going on here?!?

Dunno; you still seeing that? I show more than the max count of 1000 for me.

Today I see 21 Unread Messages. I am totally confused about this.

One possibility is that you've actually read almost all the posts? I certainly haven't.

What link are you clicking on to see "unread messages?" Do you mean "View unread posts?" If so, it's over 1000 for me. That means you have either clicked on every thread except those 20-some, or you have clicked the "Mark forums read" button at some point and those are the only 20-some threads that have new posts since you clicked that.
