Has ANYONE had the problem where it will tell you on your "home" page that you have new messages, so you click it and there are NO new messages?

I get that constantly, and at first I thought that it was just one of those kinks that they have to work out, but it had been happening a lot to me. :confused:

Put it this way...

I was looking at the MySpace General Support forums tonight and there's a band who has a music page and they haven't been able to access their messages for THREE MONTHS. Apparently they've got 22,000 or so friends...but they haven't been able to access their inbox at all and no one from MySpace has bothered contacting them back to resolve the situation.

At least you're not that band! :D

:D :D OMGoodness!! yes, your right. i'm not that band, so now i'm happy. :D :D

Besides if it was really something important, than my friends should call me and not just leave me a message on myspace! lol.

Maybe that's why Incubus haven't added me yet lol

No, but I only get about half of the emails notifying me I have new messages or someone has posted on my board.

That happened to me today, except it was a friend request. Oh well, I doubt it was a legit request anyway.

Why is it so (*&@#$@# difficult to add people to the preferred readers list??? Why can't you just just select them from your friends list or something.

Do you have any idea how many people have the same display / name?? I don't email everyone, I send them messages on myspace... ARGHH.

I agree...that's why I don't update my MySpace blog too often...aaaaand I save my juicy stuff for my LJ.

My friends know that if they want to keep abreast of what's going on , they check the LJ. MySpace blog sucks, anyway.

According to the bulletins people keep sending me, Jesus is going to be ashamed of me before His Father because I don't repost those sappy bulletins every one keeps recycling. And he will say depart from me worker of iniquity, ye never reposted that cheesy thing about the old woman and the dying kitten, I never knew you." *HELLFIRE*

Bummer.

FYI: If you see a bulletin titled "MySpace Secret Area"...have some common sense and don't click on the link (unlike my friends). It's a sophisticated phishing attack..the bulletin doesn't even have a "Reply" button! My bulletin inbox is flooded with them now!

Same here. I have 2 random blogs on my myspace but post all my good stuff on lj.

If you ever get the New Message notification and you go to your inbox, only to find no new messages...I learned a neat little trick today.

Go to your PROFILE page and send yourself a message. When you get the New Message notification, click on it to get to your inbox. DO NOT DELETE message you sent yourself. Open it, and then click on 'NEXT' on the bottom to take you to the next new Unread message. Repeat until all unread msgs are read.

I kept getting that red envelope today but no new messages. It drove me nuts. I thought they fixed that bug already, but I guess not.

It bothers me when people post surveys & FWDs in the bulletin area. That's what the blog area is for, IMO!

I also hate when friends use the bulletin area to spam their latest appearances. (I have a friend who is a DJ & he posts at least 5 bulletins a day.)

I wish there was a way I could block his bulletins. I want to keep him as a friend though..

Amen. I have a friend who posts Wal-Mart's new DVD releases every freaking Tuesday. I swear he has no life because he has this "Pix You Find on MySpace: [insert whatever here] edition" at least 3 times a day. There's that delete off friends list button, but I don't really want to delete him. You think with all the new "features" Tom and the gang have set up recently, they could at least make it so that my bulletin inbox isn't flooded with useless crap.

And I noticed something else today. BF & GF MySpaces drive me batshit insane. It's like, are you THAT co-dependent on each other that you totally have to give up your individual identity on MySpace? Do ALL your profile pictures have to be of the both of you? If I see another "Malu <3 Valerie" bulletin I really am going to delete them, I think.

OOH I hate to see those! Lame lame lame! When I used to be more active in the young adults' group at church, there were like five or six couples who shared each others email addresses. :rolleyes:
