Technical Support and Feedback - You have 7 confirmed and 0 unconfirmed private message receipts.

In my inbox it states "You have 7 confirmed and 0 unconfirmed private message receipts." (that number has been slowly growing over the past few years). Clicking that link takes me to http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/private.php?do=trackpm where it states:
"You do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:"
On that page are two links, log out and home. I haven't tried the logout button, but the home button is 404 compliant, leading to this page not found:

I think the PM Receipt/Track System had been turned off for us non-MOD sometimes in 2005 (?):

It seems you did ask the same question a while ago, Gargoyle:

I forgive you for having another senior moment :D:p , but I am not sure why IB "refuses" to fix this long-lasting bug:

I thought the question had come up before :D
But I doubt the answer has come up before.

I am developing my senior moment skills, I should perfect them after a few more birthdays.

Actually, it's just that when things sit around being clearly broken for no reason they just irk me, so I keep noticing that flaw in the system.

Hey guys,

Yep, this is an artifact of a long-lost feature. Getting rid of something like this is not the least labor-intensive job in the world, so it's going to be a, um, "low-priority" item :)

But it's in the tech queue!

Somehow that makes it sound like a job for Indiana Jones!

:D

If you find out he's available, give me a call ;)

Can those of you who are currently reporting this... tell me if it is still happening?
