Personal message which isn't viewable?

[GreatBunzinni]

I've just logged in and I've noticed that I received a personal message. The thing is, when I tried to open the inbox there was nothing there. So my account states that I received a message but my inbox is completely empty and it stays empty independent of how many times I open the inbox folder.

So what's wrong with this picture?

Strange but I have the same problem. "Hey, Christmas, you have 1 message, 0 are new." As I can't remember when I read the message if I go there I can't find a section with messages marked as read.

PM'ing(Personal Messaging)has been disabled due to a recent spam attack on the entire forum. When the site Moderator "Open Source" figures out whats all going on, I am sure he will open pm'ing back up to everyone.

You prpbably got the same PM spam we all got, and also some got on PCLinuxOS' PM system as well......

So what's wrong with this picture?

Same problem, but I get the pm in my e-mail inbox. It's indeed a spam-message.
I get the pm in my pm-inbox too, "hey SJ, you have 1 ..." , but I can't read it in there indeed. But I always receive an e-mail so I can read the pm anyhow.
I've disabled this function. I've got more then plenty e-mails during the day.

That offending PM has been deleted so it's not showing in our inbox, even if it says that we have a new message.
Personal Messaging has been temporarily disabled until further notice.

Euhm... How is it possible then that I can read the pm in my e-mailinbox?

It's about 6 days ago that I get this from (I read it's a spamrobot) Don Johnson:

You have just been sent a personal message by Don Johnson on Kubuntu Forums.

IMPORTANT: Remember, this is just a notification. Please do not reply to this email.

The message they sent you was:

But I don't mind. I get a lot of e-mails during the day, and spam is included. Pfff, just ignore the spam. Or remove it. If I get an e-mail from someone I don't know, it don't opened it... But because everyone was telling there was a spambot, I wanted to see into the e-mail. Didn't opend the links in the e-mail trough.

Re: Personal message which isn't viewable?

I should have been more specific. I meant the KubuntuForums.Net Inbox, not your e-mail inbox.

Sorry about that.

Re: Personal message which isn't viewable?

No, I'm sorry. I need to read better. And I need to learn the English-language much better.

But, my good Gmail-account added that e-mail right into the spamfolder. It's a good e-mailservice. :P

Re: Personal message which isn't viewable?

Yep. Gmail did that for me, too.

No need to apologize. I was also be quite vague.

Re: Personal message which isn't viewable?

I own and run http://linuxfordummies.org and the same spam bot hit my forums as well. Plus a good friend of mine run http://linuxfornewbies.org and his got the same spam as well 3 days later. Sad that people don't have better things to do with their time than to setup these spam bots and such.
