Annoying Website Message Glitch
Okay, i have this annoying glitch with the messaging system (Below your username theres a bar saying "You have ### messages")
When i receive a comment- the message notifier stays on the previous number and doesn't update even if i refresh the page.
I tested it by posting a comment using my test account- then quickly logging out- then logging in with my normal account.
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit SP1
Browser: Firefox 13.0.1
Internet Speed: 10MBPS

Just some server side caching, which means it takes a few minutes to update. It can make a chat in the comments rather difficult though.

Technical limitation. Please wait. Same problem on Wikipedia: Protection takes several hours to turn on.

Re: Annoying Website Message Glitch
It's due to the server slowing down because people don't delete their messages. Andresmh posted a topic a while back telling people to delete their messages because it slows the server down, but people like to keep them to see how many they've had. Some people have 100,000 undeleted messages.

I always delete my messages once i have read them, i have seen projects saying i have over 9000 messages and that really annoys me. i totally agree with you.
