New private messages are not shown

[Alexandra]

Hi,

I have just installed my vbulletin and translated it into German

Now I have one problem: on the starting page it is shown "You have 1 new message since you last visited". When I click on my Private Messages there appears "No new messages for this period". I always have to activate "Show messages from last 2 days" (yesterday does not work at all).
Can someone please help me and tell me how can I manage to let new messages be shown immediately?

Thank you so much... and please excuse my bad English, I am not familiar with all these technical terms

I have this exact same problem - I assume you can change the default setting for 'show messages from last x days' somewhere. Where do you do this please ?

In the User CP -> Edit Options

The PM view age is set by the 'Default View Age' setting.

What version of vBulletin are you running? I had the same problem but when I updated to 2.3.0 it was fixed. It may of been what Steve said - an option that needed set, and maybe the update set it for me.
