Hey all,

So I've had a notification for quite some time now, been ignoring it but if there's some way to actually fix it that would be preferable. Clicking the orange notification takes me to my inbox, clicking fix inbox gives me a big ol' MySQL error.

What do?

Try hard refreshing your page (Ctrl + F5 on Windows, F5 on Linux, Command + R on Mac) and clicking on fix inbox again.

I've just fixed my inbox to check and remember what happens, and this was the result:


Is this the result you've gotten? If it is, then despite the page saying there was an error, it should work after refreshing the page right after fixing the inbox. If it's anything else (red square or just the text stating that's an error) then I sadly don't have anything else to recommend other than waiting a little and trying again.

This issue has also occurred when trying to upload profile pictures and forum avatars but was by-passed if a user uploaded an image of a different format. However, here there isn't any by-passing. Unless you'll be given a word from anyone else on the matter, I would wait a day or two and try again then.

Yeah I'll give it a few days. Same results as usual, even with the refresh.

Thanks anyway though, much appreciated.

Yup. That one doesn't give me any MySQL errors but also doesn't get rid of the notification. I should have mentioned that in my OP sorry.

Do you have "Yes" next to "Message Notify" here: http://myanimelist.net/editprofile.php?

Have you received any e-mails about private messages at the time the notification appeared?

Nope. The notification has been around for quite some time but I can't remember the last time I ever received an actual PM. My inbox is empty and nothing ever made its way to my email.

EDIT: Would you be able to do me a favor and PM me? As long as my inbox and stuff still actually functions then I could deal with having a phantom notification.
