Nope unread 0, Total 121

Looks accurate to me

You better spend the day reading those 65535 messages
 
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 to get it fixed.
 
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.
 
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.
