Partial explanation:
The forum uses a 2-byte variable to store the number of messages.
If you use 2 bytes, you can use numbers from 0 up to 65535. If you try to use number 65536, it rolls "over" and becomes 0.
So that means somehow, due to some glitch, the forum actually thought you had -1 messages. I have noticed that some forums allow you to STORE (not receive) messages even once your inbox is full -- was your inbox 110% full and then you decided to clear all your messages? That might have caused the glitch. Or maybe it was something else, but either way, -1 rolls "over" and "back" to 65535.

Rest in peace, Kym. I hardly knew ya.
Rest in peace, Marinus. A bright star, you were ahead of me on my own tracks of thought. I miss you.
