I get the "you have new messages" link when I've
already seen them, under mozilla 1.5. Clearing my
cache does not help, nor does hitting reload, or
setting the cache to compare on each view, so it almost
has to be a server problem.

Thanks!

This is a known problem; the root cause is not yet certain, but
the
immediate cause is that the user data stored in the cache is
sometimes not cleared when the notification marker is cleared
in
the database. The wiki continues to use the cached data, which
now incorrectly lists a new messages notification flag; the flag
doesn't subsequently get recleared because you see the cached
copy of your talk page and it doesn't get to the part where it
clears
the flag.

Workarounds:

• really force a page reload on your user talk page (ctrl+ or

shift+
reload should work in IE/Mozilla)

• watch/unwatch any page
• log out, log back in
• edit your talk page
