Whilst you mention it I was wondering why my junk folder suddenly seemed to have less in it .. so much so I didn't bother to check it. I usually get too many to deal with so I send it to junk. But yes ... it seems to have stopped.

(As far as the pm notification whilst online on the forum .. I did get a couple of notifications so that's not too bad. But as I mentioned in a pm, it's been inconsistent for me for 6 mths now.)
