I'm pretty sure it has to do with private messaging, but I've clicked it and nothing - there are no messages. Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong or is it a glitch? It's rather annoying to have that thing constantly blinking at me. Thanks.

Just keep checking the private messages every day and it should be fixed soon. Smiles, Grinity Coaching available, at SchoolSuccessSolutions.com

I check every once in a while to make sure that there really isn't a message for me. I think I might faint away, if I ever open it and find a message.

ETA: Icon is still blinking, even after checking/reading messages. Is it supposed to stop once the messages have been read? I don't mind it blinking, I'm used to it. I'm just curious.

The first time I thought I'd perhaps just tuned out the envelope, but I've noticed lately that it doesn't flash every time I have a new PM, . Maybe it's PMS (private message syndrome). My envelope has had this problem lately too.
