Private Message Problems

Separate issue. My mailbox reaches capacity quite regularly. If I'm saving a bunch of messages for follow-up, I can't always purge them.....Even if i wipe it right out, it's generally full within 4-6 weeks at the most (unless I'm laying low)

Am I missing something here or some particular way I have to go about this to just read a message? Thanks in advance!

Please check your inbox to see if this problem has been fixed.

After all the notifications in my E-mail I finally received a message in my inbox. This is the e-mail I opened and followed the link.

Looks like it is working now.

My programmer checked into it and apparently what was causing this problem was that there were actually three registrations for your user name. My programmer said that this can happen when the server is excessively slow for some reason, and a new user will think their original registration did not take, and therefore jump the gun and make one or more identical registrations. ALL of which somehow get accepted by vBulletin. Seems like a bug to me, but it is what it is, I suppose.

So it's possible that others may have this same problem, but it is likely quite rare.

Thank you so much! I think I remember making others (at least one other) and forgetting about it or the password and just making a new one... Sorry about that! I've started writing down all my accounts and passwords so stuff like that doesn't happen anymore.
