New private message notifier broken

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

JForum-2.1.6

It appears JForum keeps the number of new PMs only in the recipient's session. (See net.jforum.view.forum.PrivateMessageAction). This number is incremented each time a user sends a PM to the recipient if the recipient is logged in and decremented when the recipient reads the message.

When a user logs in and reads a new message, this number is still decremented in his session even if it's zero or less. Consequently, even while the user is logged in, the number of unread messages in his sesssion can become incorrect.

Is this a known issue and are there any plans to compute the number of unread message based on the persistent data in the jforum_privmsgs table, for example?

Does anyone know any workaround?

Thanks.

Hi Rafael,

I just want to yo know the follwoing issue. If you already fixed then ignore my message.

forums-->private messages-->If a user has any new private messages, the user did not wish to check them and deleted.The number displayed in brackets is not flushing when messages are not checked and deleted.
for example i have 2 new private messages[appears as "New private messages(2)] yet to be checked and i deleted those messages.then it should appear as "private message". But it still shows the same "New private messages(2)" after navigating other links(refreshing) or after sign out and sign in.


Thanks,
Gopal
