I have discovered that there is not a one to one correlation between the email notifications and the post on MPT, either in quantity or time - I have never been bothered by the exact problem you are encountering, though - you might want to start from scratch again with a new moniker/password etc. I know of at least once this was done by a member of the MPT gang.

my email acct was hacked and I had so much trouble logging on I lost all my contacts I had to change my email address and password and start new on all sites including this one they had to delete 3x my profile then finally it was fixed

Sorry you have been having problems, it hasn`t happened to me yet! I have had problems with posts I write, sometimes they disappear but that could be me! lowreyjw suggests you set up again with new password which I think is good advice!

No, that hasn't happened to me, although I do find it difficult to navigate through the various messages. I would just start again from where you are today. I am sure you are not the only one who has had such a problem, and your friends will forgive you, and be pleased to see you back online.

Yours

I recommend you find a random ten year-old kid. As for me, I still have a flip phone and I'm angling for a Jitterbug phone for Christmas.
