so it all started a few months ago, my gmail account started to load a blank page whenever i opened it. i would just work around that by going on another computer to check it. but now there aren't any other computers available and i just got an email.......and it's annoying.....so does anyone have any idea how to work around that somehow and see the email? thanks in advance :)

maybe emailing googles gmail team would work better. unless your having other problems with your browser.(maybe try a different one..)
 
I get that ocassionally when accessing it via Safari. Few points if you are using safari:

1. When the blank page happens, click on the refresh/stop button. That always triggers the page to load for me.

2. When you are in Gmail NEVER hit the back button to return to a previous page, because that always causes the "blank page" syndrome. Just click on any return link displayed.

cheers

i've noticed both of those things, but for some reason hitting refresh doesnt work anymore.

i suppose i'll just have to use firefox and hope that 10.4 fixes it somehow.....
thanks for the help :)

i remeber reading in the change log for gmail "improved safari support " so they might even be working at it as well..
