I have no unread messages (no messages of any kind), and have not received or sent any. Does this flashing icon have meaning? If it is in error in some fashion, can I make it go away? === Also, this board does not seem to have an admin subforum, so hopefully this is the right place to ask this kind of question... === ETA: Per the FAQ (http://giftedissues.davidsongifted.org/BB/ubbthreads.php/ubb/faq.html) the flashing icon supposedly means I have unread PMs (which is how I would have interpreted the icon). But in any case, I do not have unread PMs. Last edited by psteinx; 04/26/13 01:12 PM.
