Gmail

Anyone's gmail is acting up today? Since I changed the theme last night I can't seem to operate it well today even when I click load basic HTML.

I didn't change anything on it.  My gmail seem ok today.

cheeks,

are u using firefox? try and empty your cache... it should help!

Yeah, did that first thing. May be my computer or connection. Now it is fine 

I had some odd problems with it a few weeks ago.  If it hangs while loading, pick https instead of basic html

Mine, and all Google sites in general, have been slooooooooooow the last 2 days here in Beijing. Everything else loading at light speed.

Today, Google and Gmail are ok in Dalian.  Have trouble with it at the University but not at my home.  Different server!!

I can use Gmail on MSIE, but every time I try to use Google, I put the topic in the search, click enter and the browser crashes. No windows warning or anything. I use Firefox, normally, but I had MSIE opened for some other work that was not particularly kind to non MSIE browsers.

If you are running Windows, install the "ie tab" addon for Firefox, and you won't need IE anymore.

Note that Gmail supports secure web connections, Just go to "settings" and click "always use https". This encrypts all your connections so no-one between you and Google can read anything.

I advise everyone to use this. Anyone using a mail service that does not support it should consider switching to one, like gmail, that does.

There are several names for this service. Netscape, who invented it, called it SSL, secure sockets layer. For some reason, when the IETF made it a standard, they called it TLS, transport layer security. The actual protocol is HTTPS, secure HTTP. You should see https:// up in the URL display whenever it is used, and some browsers show a padlock icon for security. Same service no matter which name is used.
