Anyone else getting false notifications of new messages?

5 years ago

I keep getting notices of new messages when there aren't any. I did notice that many of the old messages in my inbox were marked as unread, even though they've been opened, read, and ANSWERED...some from months and years ago. "6 new messages" seems to be a totally random number, as there were MANY more marked "unread" than just six. I marked them all as "read", and still I'm getting notices of FIVE unread emails. I tried clearing my How-uzzlezz cookies, and that didn't help. Anyone else, or is this just another random (personalized) glitch descending from the halls of Utter Confuzzion?

Oh, good! One glitch I am NOT experiencing. Good luck with the fix, John! My sympathy.

My HOUZZ challenge is that the text typing slows to a zombie pace after a sentence or two and/or grinds to a halt while I’m commenting. I highlight and “copy all” every couple of lines so that I can just paste back in the whole deal if the text and page completely freeze up. It’s getting kinda tedious! 🙄

@Sheila z8a Rogue Valley OR Sheila, one of your messages is among the guilty, lol. All of the (false) message alerts finally cleared yesterday, but today, your last message to me is again showing as new. Go figure :P

I am sorry about that, John. It wasn't me. Houzz is such a mystery sometimes.

It definitely wasn't anything you did, Sheila. The message that suddenly was "new" again was the one about Wm III. I had read it the day you sent it back in April. It just spontaneously became "unread" today for some reason, lol.

Surely I'm not the only one????? That feels a bit like persecution, lol.

It happened AGAIN today. I had an alert for two new messages. I went through both the old and new inboxes, and the TWO OLDEST messages were showing as new. These weren't even messages I had received, but two that I had SENT...in 2016! This seems to be a glitch in the new mailbox, since it's there they keep reappearing as new.

I'm not even going to bother with reporting the issue at this point, as it's basically an exercise in futility. Sooooooooo...if anyone sends me a message and you don't get an answer right away, it's because I'm ignoring the alerts! Apologies in advance.

I was seeing it, so I deleted all the old, answered messages. That seems to have stopped it.

Welp....now it's showing I have TWENTY new messages. Only I don't :P

Thanks, Mad_gallica. At least I know it's not a personal curse, lol.

I like to keep some of my old messages, so I have a record of the conversation. A lot of them concern rose trades or info about specific roses. Some have addresses and phone numbers of other members. I may have to copy everything to a Word document and delete them from How-uzzlezz.
