I... holy shit, I don't even know how that happened o.O Did you check the PM box? I want to guess some numbers got mixed up somewhere in the database, and you got some weird rollover effect on your PMs.

i checked it, and there was only one in there. maybe because i had a few TE tabs open (multitasking on capped internet), it might have done some weird stuff involving 1 pm and 2 windows where id checked it already...

i guess now we know that the maximum number of PMs in an inbox that TE can handle is 2^16 - 1

Awesome.

The only guess I can make right now is that somehow the count got screwed up when someone sent a PM.

Really not sure...

That's exciting.

I guess I'd better resend you your PIN number for your Terminal. Confused

LOL
Maybe you had 0 PMs and deleted 1, then instead of -1 you got the max value 65535. Awesome Very Happy
