Hi, could someone help me -- I receive emails in my actual email account saying that I have received a new message...YET, when I log into POF there is NONE to be found in my inbox.

I tried to IM pof but could not find the correct link.

Thank you in advance everyone...!

Close your Browser, delete your Temporary Internet Files, Cookies etc., and log back onto POF.

Log into your E-Mail.

Hold < Ctrl > + hit F5 to refresh the Page.

If the Mail still won't show, then that User was deleted by the System or the Admin which causes all of his/her E-Mails to be deleted as well.
That User either ...

I had a feeling that was what happened to me earlier....I figured it was probably a fake profiler and the mods caught it...

I'd tip my hat to said moderator, if there was such a smiley to do so. So I'll hoist a glass instead

I think this is more like an error in the system - I've had 2 missing emails today from different people. Both of which are legit and are still live accounts.

It's not a browser cache/cookie issue, as I've used different browsers with the same result.

Interestingly in the notification email it states the number of new messages to be zero, as if they have already been lost before the notification is sent out...

"...has sent you a message at 1032 AM on Wednesday, September 10, 2008 (Pacific Standard Time), to read your 0 new messages click on the link..."

I received a mail notification as well informing me that User**** has sent me a message and that my mailbox contains 0 new messages...

A glitch in the system?

I may have figured it out...

Could it be that those people added us to their favorite list?

Methinks the issue has been solved...

Uhmmmm... this really doesn't respond to the situation.

I received notice that I have a new message yet it clearly states that I have zero messages waiting for me; and the profile of the sender has not been deleted as I am able to search for that particular person (this was validated by my initiating communication with the person).

Thank you for your time...

Yeah, that info was about as useful to the situation at hand lipstick on a pig...

My trouble is that I deleted the original email notification so I don't even recall the name of the woman who sent me the message....

Hi Moderator (ticketoride),

I appreciate you're trying to help, but this isn't a case of user error or over eager browser caches. This appears to be a technical issue within the POF system- believe me, I understand 110% how these things work, it's my job.

None of the scenarios in the default answer matches the events that are happening.

You need to pass this on to whoever it is that is coding the site, so that they are aware of the problem - by all means give them my details, I will be able to help.

Thanks,

Happy but slightly concerned POF user

Just adding my voice to this issue. I just had a couple of these over the last couple of days. Never happened before now.

Yesterday I got 2 new emails saying I had new messages from two NEW people. Neither one was in my inbox (and still isn't). One suggestion was maybe they put us in favorites - NOPE!
Please explain what "your answer is in the second post from Moderator Ticket" means?
So are there other messages in there that I'm not getting? I don't even know how to ask a question of the technical people on POF - can someone tell me that? I can't find a contact us part anywhere! HELP please. Thanks!

Same here.
Text in email notification:
User xyz has sent you a message at 320 PM on Wednesday, September 10, 2008 (Pacific Standard Time), to read your 0 new messages click on the link.

Admins, do you see the problem? Someone sent me an email and I still have "0" messages?

I have the same - it's happened twice today from different users who both appear to be on the system still. I have no restrictions on which users can email me.

The text in the notification email reads:

... has sent you a message at 7:07:28 AM on Thursday, September 11, 2008 (Pacific Standard Time), to read your 0 new messages click on the link. ...

Update: I deleted some messages from my Inbox and now a new message has come through from someone else. I'm guessing I had too many messages.

I've also received two of these messages in the last 12 hours (and I keep my inbox clean, so know I don't have too many messages) ... BUT, both users did add me to their favourites list, and I did not receive a message telling me.

Perhaps something in the system got jiggled?

I have also had a couple of these messages - same thing here - not too many messages in my in-box to jam up the system, and the messages were from people I know, and are on the system.

I just got another one today. At least this time I got the person's name from the email notification, and wrote to them...

The odd thing about it, is that these people don't show up on the "Who's Viewed Me" either....I just looked at the person's profile to write to them, and looked on mine...and no they didn't show up...
