Just after I logged in a popup a message appeared in the top right corner. It said 22 hours ago something happened. I assume it was some kind of message but it disappeared before I read the rest. I did not notice if there was a user name there.
I looked on the messages page and the chat tab and found nothing about any message. Is it gone or should I be able to find whatever it is somewhere?
Thanks.

It was probably a black box (instant message). Those go away once you refresh a page or otherwise navigate away from it.
If you go to your messages and select the 'online' tab, you'll see all your black box messages.

Thanks for the idea, but I had a look and the online tab has nothing in it either.

These are the notifications that go away almost as quickly as they appear:
1. Someone posted on your wall.
2. Someone sent you a private message.
3. Someone voted/commented on your story (I'm not too sure about this one so someone else may have to confirm).
4. Someone on your friends list has logged on.
You also get a notification when someone pokes you, but as with the black boxes, they don't go away unless you either manually close them yourself, reply, or refresh/navigate away from the page.
One of these things must have occurred. So check your profile (or your timeline) for new wall posts or to see if you've been poked. If you're an author, check for new comments or scores.

If one of your friends log in the black boxes tell you and then go away really quickly. It was probably something like that, at least that is what it sounds like.
Thanks again. I have a feeling it may have said private message. I guess you just have to read them before they disappear.
As it disappeared with no other record in your inbox or online messages, as Dani says it was probably just a notice of a friend signing in at the time, so nothing crucial!
