"You have new rMail!" - except there's nothing there?

About half an hour ago I noticed a notification for new rMail (also the rMail link in top right corner of the layout is shown in bold), but when I go to look at my rMail I see no new messages there. Is anyone else seeing this?

Do you also have the new mail notification between the links to the games/forums and the browse/search sections?

False notifications can sometimes be corrected by clearing cache/cookies.

Yes, there's the "You have new rMail waiting" notification underneath the list of games. I tried emptying my web browser's "rpol" cookies but that merely logged me out. The notification's still there.

In case it matters, the "rMail" link in the top right corner of the website is NOT shown in bold when I view any of the forums.

Usually this is caused by deleting an rmail without reading it.

Once someone sends you another rmail, and you open it, the notification will go away.

Alright, that sounds like what I'm seeing here. I did delete a message before this happened, although I was certain I had read it. Perhaps I read it, clicked Back on my browser and then deleted (without the list page being reloaded).

Anyway, thanks for shedding some light on the matter.

Or click on "Mark all as read".

I'm not sure...but I don't think this was something that Jase added recently.  I've been using the 'Mark All As Read' button to clear indicators for quite a while...*grin*
