personal messages

Over the last couple of days I have noticed that when I have recieved a personal message

The right hand corner tells me but, the little drop down box is no longer there,also I do not recieve notification in my

normal e-mail ,where as I did.I wonder if anyone is having the same problem?

Yep, it has happened here as well.

The "You have new private message" hasn't shown on a couple of occassions but my email notifications have always arrived.

Thanks for the reply, at least I know I'm not the only one! strange how I don't get the e-mail notifications though.
