Ditto here. I don't know wether it has signed up or not, but it is a Beta service, so you have to expect it to go down a lot, as the find bugs, fix them, implement new features, etc.

It looks like it has... if you follow the original signup link for the email.. it'll tell you that an account has already been created using it.

Same old story - Do the proxy dance and it works

I just changed my no (transparent) proxy, to one I sometimes used and it zipped straight up.

Thanx again Richard mate.

I take it then that you were in on some form of Beta testing?

Whats it been like, how is the mail system?

Is it good?

Richard M · 21-06-2004, 13:56

It's really great, the conversation feature is superb.
Try it out by mailing someone back and forth.

I wouldn't say no to a GMail invite if someone still has one.

Cheers.

Does anyone want too give a account to a cool, respected, intelligent member of the forum? Well, If they dont want it can i have it? PLEASE?

Heres the deal we work like this, When I get a account I willl use MY two invite for forum members then they will do the same and so on that way all of us get accounts quickly! I promise if someone invites me I will use my two invites for forum members if i dont then the mods can ban me forever (really they can i'll accept it)

Emails and invitations sent to Hotmail from Gmail accounts do not bounce, but nor do they arrive in the recipient's Inbox - they vanish mysteriously into the aether.

GOOGLE IS KEEPING THEM

I am tell you this part of googles plan to take over world and makes us bads at grammar! is all happening now. I tells ya so you no listen though

O another note what do people think of my great idea of everyone using thhere two invites on the forum as long as they doo the same?

I'm sorry I don't have a spare one to give out. I got a second invite through Kits friend, but Richard has told me that you can't just pass the url on to someone else; you have to be invited specifically within GMail. Sorry

I told Kits' friend this, but I still got the URL. If I turns out that I can pass it on, then I shall. Of course if GMail give me some invites I'll offer them through here. Damien has first dibs.

Also, it isn't true about GMail and Hotmail. My invite was sent to my Hotmail account (both were actually), and I recieved it fine. I also sent a regular e-mail from GMail to Hotmail, and that was delivered fine too.

TheShadow · 21-06-2004, 16:25

No problem, thanks.

How did people get invited in the first place, anyway? Was there a signup I missed?
