There is something wrong with the PMs, every PM I get is blank and the From and Subject section are also blank. Also the reply button is missing.

It happened to me as well. The latest message in my outboxwas blank, save the title. I then sent a message to myself to see what would happen, and both the inbox and outbox versions were blank.

Ditto. PMs only work a few times out of the many times I've tried it over the past few days.

I'm also getting a problem where it keeps saying I have 1 new PM when I don't! (along side the updates count at the top)SuperMooseman

Yeah, I have that. It's pretty annoying. Alongside the problems mentioned above.

This is happening to me also. The message has a subject, then when I go to view it, it disappears with the entire message. I eventually am able to read them later though. Also I read the message (or try too) and it won't acknowledge that I already read it and keeps saying it's new. Here is a screenshot of my PM box when the blank PM error happens:

EDIT: Just now when I posted this message, I went to edit a typo and when I finished it made my message appear twice! Is Gamespot's server crashing?

This should be fixed. It may take up to an hour for your individual cache key to clear.

Oh good, someone is working on it :D but I think its still messed up. Also, the whole site is falling apart. the forums, when you post you go back to the 1st page, some times no posts even shows up, other times after you post it kicks you out of the topic. Everything has a ton of lag on it. I hope at least some of this can get fixed soon.

Ditto on it not catching up yet.

If it elps in troubleshooting I notied that starting about 3 weeks ago if I received a PM with the same topic as the most recent PM received the indicator would show a new message, but when opening the PM box you could not see the message until you deleted one of your old messages.

Same here. Now I apparently have 2 messages, one is shown in the inbox, with the subject, but if I open it, it is blank.

It is still happening. I even sent a message to one of my friends, but he was not able to read it, he had to tell me in a comment in my blog about this issue titled: Severe Gamespot PM Glitch!!! .

In addtion to what I said earlier in this thread, now my friend from http://filmspot.com/, Veronica_Lodge , says that it is happening to them on filmspot also! The message system is the same for everybody on all the cnet networks sites, and I am sure people on those other sites are complaining too.

DPumbliQ,one of my friends on Gamespot has a new blog about other glitches I have also experienced along with the PM glitch. In his blog titled The Glitches of GS he says the following has happend to him:

Ghost PMs: I get the regular image of a letter and an 1 next to it, but then i click it and there is no new mail in my PM box.......

Disappearing Posts: This happens to blogs, PMs, blog comments and regular topic posts....... After i click the "post" button and the page laods, there is no post......

Word Sticking: The word in my post stick together and make strange words like "ifindthisannoying"

No Edit/Delete: I can't edit or delete my posts, the page loads and says "you do not have permission to edit/delete this message"

Double posts: Even though you only clicked once on the "post" button, and even though there is a thing that should prevent double posts, they still happen, and are one of the most common glitches on GS

No Topic Posts: The topic apperas to be empty, even though there are over 10 pages and 200 posts in the topic/thread

-1 Comments: Unlike most of the glitches, this one is harmless, but annoying, it says that you didn't post the last comment (if you did) but the guy behind you did....... But your post is still there, so no worries

i don't seem to have received any PMs for about a week now (which is odd, but i'm not certain that it's caused by a glitch) but all of the PMs i still have seem to work fine...seems like this problem is affecting everyone like the board 1s are...
