Scuse me hq, how can I get rid of the red dot on my Inbox icon?

[bibbityisaporker]

I know it means I have an unread message somewhere, but I have just trawled through them all (the many thousands ) and I can't find it!

I don't like the red dot being there all the time! So what can I doooooo???

Pull your finger out and read them all. There might be something important in there .

This is just boasting by stealth, bibbity.

... actually, not much stealth, really

tsk.

serves you right for being popular.

Why don't I have these fabbo off air relationships with people, that's what I'd like to know. Do I smell or summat?

start deleting them. You'll get to the unread one eventually.

Oooo, no, I can't delete them. They are being saved for cross referencing purposes!

I had this last week Bibbers...apparently it's a known issue. What it means in practise is that someone's sent you a message and you can't see it yet. It'll turn up presently.

So if anyone's sent bibberty a message she isn't ignoring you, she just can't see it yet

Hecate, yes, you do smell... A few of us have been extensively PM'ing each other about your hygiene.

Actually, Bibbity's unread email probably relates to it...

You do get some pm coming through though Hecate. And you are good at responding too.

I get some, yes.

And I lurves all that sends em.

But I don't get thousands

And frankly I think that's not fair.

RatDes. I knew it. I just bloody knew it. You're all agin me.

Hecate, I tell you what... it must be pretty bad when it is a rat who complains about someone's smell...

I shall poke you firmly in the eye.

That was a bit harsh.

pm me and I'll apologise.

I WILL get my pm count up into the thousands

... eeuuuuh... I might have to admit that I never received a PM, nor sent one... I am not quite sure how you would go about it either.

Hello ... hello ... ???

I know you've had a slightly busy few days hq, but do you know who I am? I've been here nearly 6 years you know!

I know who you are, you are that bird of had an affair with that John Major.

Hello Bibbity, I'll have a look for your unread message.

The problem where your most recent message wasn't visible should be fixed now - it was only there for a few minutes last week, so I don't think it's that. Will report back....

I know someone else who has this issue and it's been red-dot for months. So I'm waiting for Tech to be all whizzy and sort it.

Hecate I shall PM you NOW.

Hello Tech! Any luck with finding my unread message. I have been through them all again and can't find it!

Hokay!

Yep! got them both.

But, Mary, how could you say they were boring? What with one being a comprehensive list of all the name changes of all mumsnetters ever in the whole history of Mumsnet.

And the second being a cut & paste job of what they were saying over on modlies on the night it all kicked off!

Oh happy readings for me .
