Seffiks Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 As GMail is under transition from its "old" to its "new" interface, various issues are being reported by several users on these Groups. Currently, there doesn't seem to be any straightforward resolutions available, and it may be worthwhile to wait for GMail to complete its transition from the "old" to the "new" interface for all accounts before trying to deal with such issues. Please wait for about a week to 10 days (or more, like a month or so), and keep an eye out on these Groups for any resolutions or workarounds of issues similar to yours. Interim, to access the GMail UI on the "old" interface, please use the secure access URL https://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=1 (you may bookmark this link or set it as a desktop shortcut) or you may switch your GMail language temporarily to anything else but English (US). And, for the "new" interface, which would work only with IE 7+, Firefox 2+, and Safari 3α+, please use the secure access URL https://mail.google.com Also check whether updating your Firefox to 2.0.0.9 helps. "Some" popular GMail-related extensions (Firefox add-ons and GreaseMonkey scripts) have been disabled and would not work till their developers "work out" with Google the best ways to make them work, cf. GMail Blog, http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2007/10/code-changes-to-prepare-gmail-f.... Definitely, the add-on Better GMail (a collection of GreaseMonkey scripts) does not work. The add-on FireBug would degrade (slow down) GMail. Unsure about the add-on GMail Skins. But there's no reason why the add-on GMail Manager should not work, or at least, allow you to access GMail. Other GMail-related Firefox extensions like GDrive and GSpace may not work for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bojangles Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 did you have to show your tits to get premium membership? One hairy nipple did the trick. I'm sending a package of my belly button lint for mod status next week. P.S. The VIP room is very real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GamblersGrin Posted November 10, 2007 Author Share Posted November 10, 2007 then you don't have the newer version yet, but since the newer version is slower, youre better off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
