    On certain pages a little stat box says I have messages. When I go to my inbox and profile page it says I have none. Where are these messages?

    edit: the stat box is visible when I view the main forum page. it includes likes and points along with the message number, and is right beside my avatar.

    If I am not mistaken, the "messages" you are looking at are the ones that you yourself have posted on the forums. If you have a message from somebody else, an alert sign will be above your inbox as Todd has said.

    Ok. That makes sense now. messages are actually posts. Other forums I'm on have the stats too, but it says posts and the word message is reserved for the inbox.

    Right. Messages are forum posts. Conversations (not displayed as a stat next to your avatar) are private messages and you'll be alerted when you get one.
