I get that too when logging on from different computers sometimes. I think it's related to the cookies. I get an old message alert come up, but there's no message there.

81 newbie, i have had that same problem several times. This is probably the weakest feature of the forum software. It has happened to me several times even w/ the old version before the recent transition took place. With the other forums i visit, once you read the message there is no further reminder.
