Yeah, I've noticed the same discrepancy. I'm not sure if the phantom PM's cause your Inbox to become full and future PM's to bounce or not. I usually use "Empty All Folders" when I get close to the limit.

I *think* the issue is your Sent Items list. I can't really test it out because I've just recently emptied my folders but the options in the sent folder are only "Remove Sent Copy" which does move the messages to the Trash folder but IIRC doesn't correctly decrement the post count. There may also be the same issue with the "Move to Trash" function used from the Inbox. One thing I have noted is that the "Delete Forever" option in the inbox seems to work reliably.

Another piece of funkiness that I noticed earlier was that I was logging in on various Stardock sites and I did notice that on the Sins site I had a 50 PM limit as opposed to the 100 PM limit everywhere else that I noticed. Not sure what's up with that.

Actually, I've recently gained an appreciation for the difficulties that the web team faces when trying to integrate so many sites that all seem to partially overlap, each of which seems to have grown up independently with slightly different functionality. It's a wonder that anything works. Here's probably a partial list of sites that I know about. Most are listed in the Site Map under Stardock.com but the Sins site isn't even listed there. Who knows what other orphan sites are out there.

This isn't even the GalCiv2 Site Issues forum so the only one that's probably noticed this is Kryo and this isn't something he could really do anything about.

Even the GalCiv2 Site Issues forum doesn't seem to get much attention from the web team, however in defense I believe that the entirety of the web team currently consists of only Andrew.

I've posted a thread about the bad GalCiv2 Wiki link in GalCiv II Site Issues that has received 0 response. I've been considering elevating the lack of response to the site issues forum as a problem in the Forum Issues forum but I haven't really thought the problem warranted making a fuss over.

However, site specific forum issues do in my mind deserve at least *some* minimal level of attention paid to them so perhaps it's time to elevate the problem.

In any case I do believe this PM problem is the same on *all* stardock sites and probably should be reported in Forum Issues.
