Forward icon w/garbage characters on button
-
On some of the buttons I see a blue arrow pointing to the right. I hold my mouse over the icon and it shows a forwarding number. So, this would lead me to believe the blue arrow is a forwarding indicator. I have one user that is complaining that their phone keeps going directly to voicemail and I think I solved that issue but... I find it odd that this user has a blue forwarding arrow on his button in FOP2 but when I hold my mouse over the button is shows garbage characters instead of a forwarding number. I have checked in FreePBX under the user area and there is no forward set, I even tried setting a forward, then taking the forward off. There are no follow me settings for this user, there is no forward set anywhere that I am aware of. Why does this user have a forwarding indicator with garbage characters on his button? Thanks.

FOP2 reads the forward info from Asterisk DB entries with family "CF". FreePBX uses that entry to actually perform call forwarding.
asterisk -rx "database show CF"
Do you see output related to that extension? If so, and assuming that extension is number 1234, you can remove the entry with
asterisk -rx "database del CF 1234"
