I just saw the letter icon under my username in orange, indicating that there should be something new in my inbox; but when I went to my inbox there was nothing there I hadn't already read. I wonder if this could be related to the recent trouble with the PM system? I sent a PM the other day and might have gotten a response to it which triggered the colour-the-icon code but not, perchance, the actual display-in-inbox code. Can I get a volunteer to receive a PM from me, or to PM me, and test whether the response shows up in the sender's inbox?
If you load Page A, then load your inbox, the icon will still be red on Page A. I doubt this is the cause, since I assume most people are familiar with this behavior, but it seems useful to mention just in case :)
