Hello everyone!

I have a player in one of my games that switched to a new character but has been getting a blue private message flag on the game even after I moved the character to another player(myself), I noticed that the character had no open messages so I was wondering if this is a bug found before or if my player just needs a bop to the head and to try marking all as read one more time.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Usually that blue message indicator that won't go away means they deleted a PM without reading it.   Having a new PM sent to them, and having them read it will usually clear it.  (Probably has nothing to do with the character in question.)

if the player isn't there any more? would it not go away, if you removed that player from the game?

Or having them use the "mark all as read" will do it, adding in a relog for good measure.

Excellent, indicator is gone now, it was just a case of sending a new PM and them reading that one.

Thanks for all the answers everyone!

In reply to donsr (msg # 3):

Not necessarily.  The PM is sent to the character, not the player...if the character is the one causing the message indicator to set off because someone else deleted an unread PM, I'm not certain that changing owners would clear that up.

What's got me curious is how the OP managed to identify that it was that particular character that was triggering the PM notification, since it sounds like he's the GM and therefore could conceivably have multiple sources of PMs...*grin*

The player in question just got a new character and I took the old character off of his hands. He apparently hadn't checked all of his pms before he said he was ready for the separation. I keep some characters in case players want to play them again at some point.
