Hey all,
For the last few days I've had problems accessing my gmail inbox. I type in the addy, and all I get is the white screen with Loading... displayed in the top left hand corner, then nothing, it just stays like that.

I tried today on a different computer that had broadband and it worked fine on that. Is it something wrong with the auto login? Anyone know how to solve this problem as I have a lot of mighty important e-mails that need sorting. Any help will be massively appreciated.

You're exactly right, Ben... Hotmail doesn't even open in FF...

Having said that, neither does GMail for me

'tis a bit annoying switching between the two, and considering that IE always takes a butt-load of time to load up the application, when there's a perfectly good, healthy FF waiting to have a new tab, it just... does not... make... sense!

*shrug*
I'm over it.
Are you?

gmail opens fine on safari this morning

If no-one gives your an answer to a question you have asked, consider:- Is your question clear.- Did you ask nicely.- Are you showing any effort to solve the problem yourself 

What, are you running a 486? You've got to be kidding me.

Because we shouldn't have to wait.

I access my gmail account through outlook express, and Ive had no problems at all.

Part of solving the problem is actually noticing that the problem is there in the first place
