Odd Entry in Webmaster Tools

Summary shows warning sign that doesn't match the message

One of my sites in Webmaster Tools has kind of an odd entry on the summary page this morning.

Under the summary, there usually seem to be two types of entries - the green check marks, which show something that is apparently ok.

Then there's a yellow triangle with an exclamation point in it, and the text is yellow as well. These would be meant to draw your eyeballs to something that might need attention.

One just *one* of my sites (so far) I have the yellow triangle with an exclamation point in it, and then in yellow text it says "We accessed your home page successfully"

So is this an incorrect error message (that it DIDN'T access the home page correctly?) Or an incorrect flag (it does say just above it that Googlebot last successfully accessed the home page on November 1)

I have 60 other sites in my account, I haven't checked them all yet, but out of the dozen or so I have checked, this is the only one that's marked this way.

Until yesterday I also got the message: "We accessed your home page successfully" along with the yellow triangle.

Today it's dissappeared.

Ah, I must have taken yours, then.

Ah, I must have taken yours, then.

Seems that you have, thanks ;)

I couple of days ago I made a post in Google Groups, but still haven't heard from any G employee. I guess they don't have an answer on that or haven't seen the post.

But I agree, the message doesn't make any sense at all.
