I seem to be losing messages. I've had two pm's today and both of them disappeared. I read the messages and they required a little thought before I was comfortable in replying and both of them have disappeared from where I left them - in my inbox. I've also had other messages disappear as well, messages that I "starred" so I could get back and drop in a reply to someone who had commented on one of my posts. There are those of you out there right now laboring with the misassumption that I've ignored you which is not the case. I've created such a chaotic mess for myself with all my posts and it is coming back to haunt me. I've largely worked out a system for keeping up with it now so maybe it won't happen again.

I got a message today from someone asking me if I did receive the message they sent. I had but it seems like they were having problems too. As for some disappearing, could it be from someone deleting messages from their inbox?

To True.
I lost several messages and also had two personal messages end up on the main board.

And then there's sending a reply and having it show up 4 or 5 times and you can't delete the dupes.

I figured out what part of my problem was. I star messages I need to reply to and check mark the ones that can be moved to my UHH folder. I'd go up the list of email notices and mark off a bunch ready to move and then I'd get a piece of spam and check it and delete it, not thinking about also deleting the forum messages I had marked to move, hence, I'd delete everything that was marked. I suspected that so I went to "trash" and sure enough, I had a bunch of forum mail in my trash folder. I moved it back where it belonged and devised another plan for doing that. What concerned me most was the pm's I had gotten, opened, and read but then the email for those have disappeared making me also think the pm's were gone. I later found them too. I've got to get more familiar with all aspects of the forum in order to better understand how to maneuver my way around. However, that didn't explain all of the messages that were there and then they were not.

Has anyone noticed their mouse cursor hanging up and then the need to wait 4-5 seconds to free it up?

Yes. And that's when I get a bunch of dupe messages posting.

Good because I've never had an issue with my iMac until this forum. Admin needs to know of these things. At first I thought it was low power on my Apple wireless mouse. Now that I know it's not a problem on my end I'll contact Admin and let them know. Thanks for responding.

I've seen that and other hesitating as well. I'm beginning to wonder if it is someone else's "adware" tracking me or if it's UHH. I run anti-spyware cleaner frequently and even though I'm not spending much time on other sites right now, I'm still getting it.

I can't say for sure but I'd bet all of Gessman's and Bob's money it has something to do with the banner ads that get placed according to page content.

I went into my program files to uninstall an app today and found two adware programs that weren't there a few days ago. I deleted both of them. They must not have generated suspicious activity or CA would have picked it up. You all might want to check your own program files to see if there are things there that shouldn't be.

Well, if I WERE YOU, and I got to feeling real sorry for myself 'cause I was feeling poor, I'd just get my pictures out and look at 'em for an hour or so. If that didn't cure you, nothing will.
