"Your Notifications"

I have 2 notifications shown at the top right of the web page. Unread profile visitor messages
When I go onto my profile there are no new messages..
How do I clear this notification, they are supposed to disappear when you go to your profile but mine don't..

Any help appreciated..

Thanks.

Re: "Your Notifications"

I usually click on the notification sign itself and go through it that way.

click "tools" at the top of your firefox page, then "clear private data" on the menu that drops down.A window will pop up, just tick everything except "saved passwords" , click the "clear private data now" button, and it`ll clear everything for you.

Re: "Your Notifications"

It may also be worth trying a "hard" refresh of the page - in IE you refresh while holding down F5 , not sure if its the same with firefox or not (mark probably knows )

And its still there.

Re: "Your Notifications"

Use IE

Seriously though, can you use IE and do you get the same thing happening?

Re: "Your Notifications"

i doubt its an incompatibility issue - amonst others stu is a firefox user.

as it appears to be only you it must be something to do with your computer or potentially your profile rather than a bug in the site as a whole. However i'm lost as to what it could be.

i take it you are absolutely sure that you dont have any unread messages - maybe ones that arent new but which got missed lower down ?

Re: "Your Notifications"

The only other suggestion i could make would be to clear all your profile messages and start again, but granted, you may not want to do that.

Re: "Your Notifications"

I have looked through all of my messages and all have been read.
All new messages that I get don't stay as unread.
I will now try internet explorer.

I was messing about trying to delete profile messages before this happened..
How do you delete profile messages..

Re: "Your Notifications"

I have just solved the problem by deleting two messages from my profile and the "unread messages" has gone back to 0..

Maybe I was the only one to try to delete profile messages.

Re: "Your Notifications"

Go to your list of private messages
Check the ones you want to delete
Select 'Delete' from the drop-down list
Click on 'Go'



Voila!
