New message notification, but no message?

Postby ajmas » 07 May 2009 01:48

I got an e-mail notifying me of a new private message, but when I followed the link there wasn't a private message. What's going on? According to the e-mail the title was "Forum administration".
Providing logs, messages, configuration info (VLC, OS, Hardware) and a clear explanation of the issue always helps the problem solvers help you, even if they don't end up solving the issue. Just think what you would need if you were solving someone else's problem. Additional: Always looking for eager and capable MacOS X developers to join the VLC team - for more information see here.

It may have been a SPAM Private Message (judging by the title as well) - user was probably deleted, deleting the PM too.

Arite.
Don't use PMs for support questions.

If you want an answer to your question, just be specific and precise. Don't use Private Messages.
