Seems to me that this has happened to others before. I don't remember that it's happened to me, personally, though.
 
it's happened before quite a few people have started threads about it - suprised you never saw them. just some bug with the forum software i think. i experienced it once.

I am surprised I never saw them too. Especially since I sit here at work and read the forums all day long. LOL :)

I think all you have to do is log off the forum :eek: clear your cookies and log back on.

I did all that and it didn't work. What ended up working was deleting a couple of them.

Coincidentally (or not coincidentally at all) 65,535 is the highest number available as a binary data type. I think this was a SQL incident or somebody was doing some maintenance while the site was live. OR their forum software stores the number of PMs in their database as a bin and have actually reached 65535 PMs over the entire forum. I would bet one of those :P

It happened to me about 2 months ago.

We are talking about your outlook right not your AZB account? I had the same thing, you will have to go through and delete them it is a pain. Call Cox though so they can reset your password. You will still get 1000's more in the next two days.
