When you obtain a message from someone the pager freezes for like 1-2 minutes sometimes freezing up your entire computer. Then if you input an ass load of things like for example spamming my friend jeffry with 0s to give him an idea of how long it would for a man who lived 4 a long ass time (Like 10 quintillion years or something to start experiencing time like we do.) The result is that after i sent my hundredth or so 0 it just kept sending them. Which means the pager has a delay sometime between when i send a message and when it actually receives it quite a big delay to because it took around 5 minutes for it to stop sending messages while i watch them appear.
Problems seems to occur more when obtaining messages than sending them though it did take a long time before the pager caught up to the apologies i was sending to him for ruining his day.
Numbered Steps to Reproduce Problem:
1. Get friend to spam you.
2. Minimize pager

Does the problem occur:
Every time? Or how often?
Almost every time sometimes its just fine then you get more than one message and everything goes to hell.
In other user accounts?
Im 100% sure everyone on my friends list experiences this. Its why they dont use the pager anymore.
On other computers?
I actually haven't tried it on any other computers.
When does the problem NOT occur?
When you're on the tab with the person who's sending the message and only receive one message.
Did the problem NOT occur in any earlier versions? If so, what was the last version that worked?
Uhh it didnt happen with old pager... whichever version had the old pager... <3 that thing.
