Prior to today, when was the last time you logged in? All of my messages still show and no one else has reported any problems recently.

They were still there last night. There are still 108 total showing in header but there are not actually there but there are 106 blanks with 1969 dates.

Unfortunately, no. When that file on the server crashed a week or two ago, it took everyones PM logs down with it. Including mine. All were erased. The only way it would've been possible to get them back would've been to reset the database back by a day or two. Sort of like resetting Windows to previous day restore. But the downside to that is: all POSTINGS from that point on would've been lost. We (meaning mostly ME, but a few others as well) agreed that it was better to simply start rebuilding our PM files as opposed to losing all of that forum activity. All of us had to say "oops. messages gone. Can you please re-send that info?"

But as far as I know, it's been working fine ever since.

Hello Des.
All my messages also disappeared too.
But I have 12 messages in my mailbox that don't belong to me.
Any way to correct that or was it just a hiccup?
