Private Messages not able to be marked as read

• by HeatherC moderator

  When you get a Private message (PM) and open it in the main screen by clicking on the title of the message in the sidebar it is marked as read and so the "new message" icon at the top of the screen vanishes. I have now been sent TWO PMs with no title. This means I can't click to open them in the main screen, only read them in the sidebar and thus the "new message" icons never go away. It's pretty annoying! Can it please be made so that PMs can't be sent without a subject title so this does not happen?

  I thought this had been solved? Today I've had two more PMs without subjects / titles and once again I cannot open them properly or get rid of the "new message" icon. Can we PLEASE make it so that a PM can't be sent without a subject?
