The little checkmark notification thing at the top of the page, and the Personal Messages tab, both keep telling me I have an unread PM. It's been this way since yesterday, but I don't have any unread messages. Anybody else have this issue?

That happens to me all the time until I refresh the screen -- it didn't used to be like that for me, but it has the last few months. So easy solution, refresh the screen.

It does that to me all the time.  It usually goes away after awhile.

Does it for me too.  I'll have one or two waiting, and then there's always a lag in between when the tab stays there after I've checked.  It usually goes away after a few minutes.

In addition to the lag time and wonderful suggestions to hit the refresh buttons, the site has been having some server issue effecting member communications. Hopefully they are all fixed today.
