BuddyPress messages are loading using Javascript. You can check for any errors by looking in your Javascript console. You can check this by going to the inbox page then right clicking anywhere on the page and selecting “Inspect Element” then selecting console from the new tabs that appear.
I too have this issue of “loading messages. PLease wait” I have gone to the console as you instructed above,
There is an error listed the details for which are:
Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ‘;’
at new Function (<anonymous>)

at f (backbone.min.js?ver=1.4.0:2)
at c (backbone.min.js?ver=1.4.0:2)
at n.trigger (backbone.min.js?ver=1.4.0:2)
Can you help me cure this?
Many thanks
