You have <Not A Number> messages!
A couple of times in the past couple of days I have gotten
"You have NaN"
on the Messages screen, after deleting my messages. Back in my real programming days, NaN ment "Not a Number" and it usually ment something bad had happened to your variable. Thought you might like to check on any recent changes to the code that handles message counts.

Well, that makes two of us then! Anybody else seeing this?

Re: You have <Not A Number> messages!
Click the NaN. It will then go away. Just don't click back in your browser.

Re: You have <Not A Number> messages!
Yeah, same as dialga for me, or whenever I've deleted all my messages.

Re: You have <Not A Number> messages!
Usually this appears when I delete all my messages, but sometimes it appears when I only delete one.
Strange.
I know what you're thinking! "Neptune! Get rid of those filthy advertisements and give us back the Zarathustra siggy, you horrible person!" Well, don't worry about it, the Zara siggy will be back soon, new and improved! ^^ Meanwhile, just do what the sig tells you to. >.>Offline

Re: You have <Not A Number> messages!
I finally sent an email to the Scratch team about this bug as I wasn't sure they were aware of it. They acknowledged that it was a bug and that they would fix it soon. So that is good news!

Re: You have <Not A Number> messages!
andresmh, I think I saw the NaN message still this morning, so I'm not sure its really fixed.
The new website code that was installed this weekend seems not to have been the beta release you were having a few people look at, but the same buggy code that was tried out before. What's up with the ScratchR release protocol?

Re: You have <Not A Number> messages!
I haven't been able to replicate the NaN message. The code released is the same (plus some changes for IE6 support) as the one beta tested. Seems like the bugs people have found are new or specific to Firefox for Mac? We are using svn for source control of the ScratchR code and the code on the production site is up to date. We have gotten great bug reports from everyone. We'll work on the issues reported.

Re: You have <Not A Number> messages!
Put a comment on one of my projects or galleries, and I check if the NaN message problem still happens now that I've cleared my browser cache.

Re: You have <Not A Number> messages!
The NaN bug is not there any more. i think that emptying my cache so that a new .css file was downloaded fixed a number of the problems, though not the missing Contact Us page.
