For some reason, I've got three new messages in my mailbox but I can't find them. Do you have this problem? I took the time to go through every one of my messages to see if I could find the new messages. I didn't have any luck, unfortunately, but I did find about four years of memories. 

Since I joined Ebaby four years ago, I've met hundreds of people. Most of them have been very nice and polite and many are still my friends. These days I deal mostly with Chinese friends but that is just because there are quite a few more of them than there are people from other countries. Right now, I only know one person from Japan and no one from Russia, France, or just about anywhere in Europe. 

What has Ebaby done for me? Besides all of the wonderful people I've met, Ebaby has made me appreciate languages more. English is difficult but I have a deeper realization of the problems that people encounter. Aside from that, Ebaby has taught me to be patient. I often hear people stumble and trip over words but now, I more fully appreciate the hard work that people face when learning English. It's really humbling for me to realize that there are many people all over the world whose dream is to speak English like a native speaker. I never realized how lucky I am to be able to be a native speaker. But I also never realized how good it feels to help others.

Thanks for reading my blog. If you have questions, don't be shy. Contact me and we can work things out together.

I also had the same problem on EBaby. But i knew that those message were already read. Because if there were new messages, they will send a note on my email.

Thanks for letting me know that I'm not alone in this crazy message problem. They will fix it at some point I guess. Other than that, how is everyone? :)

Same thing happens to me too, I believe this is what's happening to every single member..The problem is that even after you open and read a letter you just received, Ebaby assumes that you did not read it, so it is still recognized as a new one..

Don't worry, you are not actually getting messages you can't read. They are the old ones.

I have the same problem, too.

I have got 8 messages in my mailbox, but I can't find them. I checked all my mailbox attentively to fnd them but alas, the number is still the same. I guess, it is owing to the new procedure and changes on Ebaby. Ebaby renews itself all the time, so it must be having some renewal these days.
