I can't access my recent messages ... When I click on mesages it takes me back to messages in my inbox 9 months ago and I can only see messages sent to me between 6 and 9 months ago. What the hell? I contacted a few friends here on Chess.com and it seems that I am the only one experiencing this. Anyone else having issues? 

hi. Must make the right settings. They messages have the settings 

I've been here a super loooong time and never EVER seen any setting in regards to messages 

        The U.S. Mail shut you off. You didn't pay the bill     .... heh, that's funny.  I'm getting your messages    Ok, your mother said, "don't forget to feed the cat".

lol ! I take that back. I realize that there ARE settings for alerts and other stuff... But I haven't tampered with the settings 

 

cheeky_chicky > Alert & Email Settings

Use the options below to customize how and when you receive alerts. By default, alerts are delivered to you on the "Alert Panel" on the website and by email.

      hahahahahah   you don't feel her, you feel FOR her. Lets leave sex out of this

(((Giggles))) Oh well I can still see recent mail if I go to sent mail . I guess that'll have to suit me for now 

Just a guess here, but I suspect that you have quite a bit of e-mail, and perhaps a large number that are unread. Their algorithm for determining which e-mail to show when you exceed a sufficient size may change at some point, and in fact, their algorithm may have a bug that occurs in this condition.

Recommendation:

1) File a ticket.  (Not sure where this is done, but there should be a way of reporting issues like this).

2) Try deleting some of your older and unwanted messages.

No promises, but if my assumption (really just a guess) is correct, this should resolve the issue - at least until your e-mail queue exceeds the target size again.

3) Sex is always good. No need to leave sex out of it.  

I do receive TONS of mail each day ...I have carpol tunnel from clicking and deleting old /read messages . I wish there was a way to mass delete messages. Gonna try your advice Bill Thanx! 

Yeah I get that . But you still have to click on each message that you want deleted . There is no DELETE ALL option ...Like in e mails where one can delete a whole page of messages in 2 clicks >>>> I could be wrong lemme go and check 

stuzzicadenti You were right! Thank YOU!

Since I have not written to you in a couple of months -- there isn't really any need for you to read the emails from 2015.

Did a bit of poking around. Hidden at the bottom of the website is a Help & Support link.  It looks like this (I added the highlighting):

Home | Chess Topics | About | FAQs | Help & Support | Site Map  | Help Translate

Privacy Policy | Legal | © 2015 Chess.com • Chess - English

It will eventually lead you to a page with this url:

https://support.chess.com/customer/portal/emails/new

If you continue to experience trouble, I recommend this route as the best.

Thanks Bill!

Speaking of message-related oddities, I just got a message informing me of this thread's existence today.

Interesting !

Yeah, seems chess.com is doing the Time Warp
