PM problem?

Just a heads up about a potential problem in the PM system:

I have documented two cases in which a PM to Brian (Primesuspect) was not delivered successfully. It stored the message in one table, but did not put it in his inbox or create a receipt (two other tables).

I can't reliably duplicate the problem, so I have no idea if it's something screwy with Brian's account or a possible flaw in MySQL overall. We took the forum down for 5 minutes tonight to run a repair. The missing PMs did not appear, but maybe it will prevent it from happening again. I have no idea.

For you, this basically just means "double check any messages you send" if you don't get a reply. Please let me know if you can report any more instances of this happening and don't mind me digging for the message it happened to.

Thanks :)

    Perhaps everyone should send about 5 PMs to Brian to do a thorough test of the system.

    I just documented another case - this one from Kwitko to myself. No record in the database of it ever being sent. :-/

    That glitch is such a good scapegoat.

    I know :( I swear it's not, though... I've only seen it happen 3 times. Brian's opening a ticket on VB's support site tonight.
