gmail "pay it forward"

[abhishekit]

I just got a gmail account today. Is anybody else having trouble logging in? Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. I often get a javascript pop up telling me to try again later. I know it's in Beta so I'm not using it as my primary e-mail but is this a fluke of the day or is this how it's been since launch? Just curious.

I havn't noticed any popups, but sometimes it can't connect.
Another problem is the 'back' button doesn't work always. Suppose your are in inbox, you goto 'sent' folder, and then hit 'back' , it can't load the page.
But I guess it would be fixed once its stable.

cheers

Yeah. It's not like a pop-up ad or anything. Just a javascript pop-up message. No biggie. It's just a kink and it's beta.

Off topic: Where is your avatar from? I think I've seen it but the only thing that pops into my head is the movie Ghostworld.

Would definately love an invite too, especially if it's not being opened to everyone until October. And I'd be sure to pass my invites onto macrumors users. emutrie@hotmail.com

Count me in. Almost anything has to be better than a 2 MB HotMail account.

Edit: Thanks to etoiles, I now have a brand spakin' new GMail account!

 

[Paperstreet]

Count me in. I'd really like to get a gmail account.

Edit: I GOT MY GMAIL!!! I'll be paying it forward this afternoon!!!

I ended up paying for some invites. But I want to pass it on, so here's a link:

Macrumors is awesome.

Thank you Dengxin Duan!

Actually I think we shouldn't post invite links here, that leaves it open for lurkers to stop by and pinch our invites without ever contributing to the MR comminity, this shouldn't be about helping out people we don't even know!

 

[LeeTom]

Account given. Thank you paperstreet! I will return the favor here as soon as I get my invites!

Got it!

I agree. The idea is to look at the order in which people posted asking for an invite. You are supposed to send your invitations to the first people that posted. After you have received an invite, edit your original post to say so, that way people know who to send invitations to next. Just posting a link in the forum completely ruins the whole idea behind this thread.

 

[Paperstreet]

I really don't want to post links either. The only reason I did is because it seems noone is updating their posts to say that they got invites.

If people were doing this, it wouldn't be a problem.

I've got a few more invites coming. So what do I do? Noone wants me to post links, so someone decide who's next on the list.

I've got 2 invites I think. Or at least one. Who gets it?

[etoiles]

yes, please, EDIT your original request posts saying something like "got it" if you did...keep things tidy.

 

[Gizmotoy]

I'd love to be able to drop hotmail for gmail. A pre-thanks for anyone with extra invites. We have quite a community here. Keep up the good work.

(Gotta try to keep the spam out )

Update: I got an invite yesterday. Thanks to Mac Gal for the account! Now I just gotta wait until I start getting invites so I can give something back.

Could anybody post a pic of their gmail account showing an invite available for them to send out? I already have a gmail account but am curious as to what to look for. I don't anticipate being able to send invites any time soon but I'd hate to miss 'em when I can...

I don't have a pic, but I can tell you what to look for. In redwriting next to "Show*search*options**Create*a*filter", and under the search box, there will be a link to send out the invites, you can't miss it!

something like this...

 

[SilentPanda]

Nice... don't think I'll miss that blatant link...

 

[kentd]

I'd like a gmail addy too... to replace my hotmail one that is filled with unsolicited SPAM!

I have sent thirteenva and obeygiant invites already. Could you please edit your messages to say you got one?

No! Damn you! Don't screw with me! I'm far to gullible for such games. Do you get it? I dunno. I was in a weird mood - very Photoshoppy. Bah. Thanks again, darlin'. You're one in about 6.2 billion. :lick:

 

[Paperstreet]

I just sent LeeTom an invite. Please update, LeeTom.

Thanks.

I just posted on a related thread a few minutes ago saying that I had no idea why people would want a Gmail invite.

Then I read a bit, then a bit more.

Darn it, now I want one! I feel like a PC user, discovering Macs for the first time.

Please add me to the list, and I will send my invites to whoever's top on this list once I get them.


<Edit>Got one. Thanks, etoiles! I'll pass any invites along to this list....</Edit>
