Well, at lunch I forgot I left myself logged in and I was logged out when I got back so I don't think it's a cookie thing. I deleted everything out of everything this morning and logged out, and it still said I had one message that was unread.
so, who is the MOTHERFUCKER who sent me a message and then deleted it before I got it? Is this ever going to go away? Or can people now, just to torture me, send me messages then instantly rescind them so that I will never know if I actually have new PMs or whether it's just some sicko bastard sending and rescinding.
On another note, I never knew that lanolin was sheep semen. I always thought it was some kind of oil-type stuff from the wool. Learn something new every day.

There are two kinds of cookies.
There is the cookie that keeps you logged in, if you have checked it in your preferences. That is what logs you out automatically after a time if you don't do anything on the site and/or keeps you logged in so every time you return you don't need to log in again. That is the one you are talking about above.
The other cookie is the one that keeps track of how long you have actually been on the site, that expires every 2000 seconds. A new one is put in when the old one expires while you are on the site. It also will continue to countdown when you leave the site, so if you come back in 1999 seconds it will still say you have a new PM (but it should not say it is unread) and it would likely still have the posts you have already read marked as new. 1 second later and the cookie will reset itself.
All that said, someone probably sent you a message and deleted it.
