I have received an e-mail notification that I have received a private message - clicked on the link but there is no message in the box - no idea why?

Did you read the pm before you checked your email? Sometimes, I find that the pm notification system is a little slow. Once or twice, I read my messages before getting the corresponding notification a couple hours later.

I also find this delayed notification sometimes, depending on whether I check my mail before or after logging onto the forum. Bit disappointing to think that I may be receiving some interesting and stimulating correspondence, only to find it's some nonsense from Fulla that I've already read.

To avoid dissapointment, check your mail before you visit the forum. We need a duh emoticon... roll1

I did check my e-mail before going to the forum.

OK, I had a pm delivered to me at about 4:40 pm today, which I read almost immediately after it was posted. Email notification of the pm didn't reach me until 7:10 pm.
Just an example that these things sometimes happen.
I think it's especially prone when you read the pm almost immediately upon receiving it (this is the second time in a similar situation it has happened for me).
