LJ weirdness

[snowgall]

So LJ keeps insisting that I have one new message in my inbox, but...I don't? I have checked and rechecked, and marked everything as read, and reloaded the page, and each time it keeps giving me that bright orange dot (or the blue envelope, depending on my view).

So if by any chance you have sent me a message in the last hour or so and I haven't replied, it's not because I'm being rude, I promise. Either there's really a message there that I can't see (and I checked the spam folder too, JIC) or livejournal can't understand when I tell it I've 'read' something.

If you know how to fix this, let me know!

Yes, that is annoying. Actually, I always wish that when I reply to a comment (like I'm doing now) that the inbox would register that as read. I mean, I think it does if I reply to the comment *from* the inbox, but not if I do it from the post itself, you know? So I feel like I'm always having to go in and mark as 'read' things it should know that I've read :)

Or is there a trick to this that LJ veterans know?

I don't know. I'm an old enough lj vet that I've circled back around to "don't know what I'm doing since they stopped using S1"

I just don't have comments go to my inbox (they go to my mail) unless I'm tracking something not on my personal journal/comm/posts- stuff like fest fics or Accio searches.
