The messages page is online at the moment for testing. You can click the envelope in the navigation bar, or simply click here. Right now it's only going back as far as a month for performance reasons, but you'll see replies to all your comments, giveaways, trades, etc.

The counters in the left column will show the total number of unread messages in each category. Also, unread messages have an envelope beside them. When you're done browsing the messages, and feel you read everything new, you can click the Mark as Read button. By doing so, you'll clear the counters, and mark the messages as read.

During beta, the envelope in the navigation bar would light up and show the number of new messages you received, but that's currently disabled. I'll be running some more tests, and try to get that working soon as well.

Update: Counter in the navigation bar should now be working.

Very nice. I see a problem, though - if you press "Mark as Read" it will mark NOT ONLY all the messages on the messages page, but also any messages that arrived after the messages page was loaded. I recommend adding a hidden variable to the form with the timestamp of the latest message, and when the form gets submitted mark as read only messages with that timestamp or earlier.

The site is all new, not re-worked code from the old site.

The messages page worked fine in the beta site, but when having the all the data from SteamGifts v1 was put into it, it was extremely slow and db intensive, so the code/queries had to be better optimized. Or something.
