Maybe George can help, but in the mean time you may want to start reading those unread PM's. :D

Seriously though, George may have some information.

Hey, I didn't break it. :D

But I have broken it in the past in different ways - the last time I broke something, I was dealing with a new guy and suddenly gave him more posts (on his count, not his record) than Bob B.

You need to send an email to Webmaster Sean (mailto:webmaster@mikeholt.com?subject=Question regarding the Code Forum) to get it fixed.

Whooaa! You would think they would quit writting when you don't write back.

Yeah, sorry Brian. I just had some stuff I wanted to say, and there's a message length limit. I had to compose it into 65,000 smaller posts.

Marc you need to resend in a single message as I deleted my in box and SO FAR the issue is cleared up. Not that it was that big an issue.

Sounds like that field is a 16 bit unsigned integer that was decremented one too many times.

Zero unread messages stored as 0000 0000 0000 0000 in binary.
Subtract one and you get 1111 1111 1111 1111 which = 65535 in decimal

In other words, just your average computer glitch.
