Not realizing I had so many PM's in my boxes, I decided to clean (delete)the one's I no longer needed to reference. Which was damn near all of them. When I started purging them I discovered that many and I mean a bunch of them were double's as if I had sent or received double PM's.
What could have caused this to happen?

Happens all the time. I run a few forums, and people are too lazy to click on
"forum index" which is on the top left...so they click the back button
and in PHP script, they are reprocessing a code, which essentially is sending you the same PM again.
samething happens when double posts are created, they hit back button by mistake, and it double posts.

Email notification is a low priority with a SQL based PHP forum. Since PHPBB is open source, and is essentially free, it can be used on any open web space that supports it. By default, email notifications are low, so if the SQL processor is busying running other items "searches, posts, modifications from moderators, stickies, and accepting logins and new registrations", some times the notifications go so low in the queue in terms of importance, and it sends out at a later time.Hodari D. wrote:Similar problem. Today I received a private message in triplicate. In addition, these pms were not received in my email but subsequent pms (of which only one was received) were acknowledged in my email. EERIE...
Sometimes you'll get an email saying someone replied to your post an hour later, 2 days later, or if the server is not busy, you'll get it a second later.
