SG says I have one unread message but I can't find it. What's going on here?

So, this just happened in the past 2 hrs or so.

In the top right corner of SG's website, there's an envelope button for your messages, right? Mine now shows one unread message but I can't find anything unread after clicking on the button.

I even clicked on all three categories on the left and of course none of them contains unread messages. Is this a bug with the website or did I just receive a ghost message some time in the past two hours?

Someone deleted their reply to you.

Ohhhhhhhhh

Well that was a confusing design I'd say! I think the messages screen should just show a message with its content saying "Message deleted by the author" or something. Y'know, just like what it looks like in the duscissions after someone deleted their comment.

Or the message was deleted perhaps?

I suppose it could be a reply someone left you, but then deleted, we can test it.

Yeah that's most likely what happened. We should test it for science!

Yup! Now my inbox shows five unread messages even though I can only see three (all from this thread) :p Theory verified! happy GLaDOS noises
