Hi there

Thanks To Chimaera i have one of these Gmail thingy's now, but it won't load up. When i log in, it just comes up with a blank page. Is there anything i need to do?

It runs off JavaScript and you will need to make sure your pop up blocker and firewall aren't stopping it.

Thanks Gary :)

It's just one of many possible reasons why Gmail doesn't always run for people first time. It can depend on what they have allowed or blocked in their firewalls etc in the past. Server errors are known to happen with Gmail since its still in Beta :(

I've disabled the firewall, and made sure it isn't blocking pop-ups, but when i try it, it still won't work. It comes up with a blank page, and loading pops up in the top right hand corner for about a second. Then nothing

Mine is working too!However it is prone to server error from time to time.Then you must just be patient for a little while and it will return. :)

Incog.

Still working fine here :confused: Have you tried clearing your temp files out in case something is causing the hiccup?
Could just be the google servers playing silly fekkers though :erm:

I seem to remember my account took a while to 'go live' - have you had a confirmation sent to your originiating account?
