counter continues to count ...

The ichat icon on the dash usually bounces and has the number of new messages in a red circle when you have unread messages. Mine did this for a little while, and now it somehow changed to the icon not bouncing when there are unread messages and the coutner just keeps counting every messages, even if they werent missed. i tried to find someithng in preferences but nothing stuck out to me. im sure its something simple but i couldnt seem to figure it out

thanks
