More Gmail Issues

The last couple days I’m seeing the ‘Loading…’ message a lot more in Gmail. Sometimes Gmail simply hangs while paging through messages or switching from a message back to the Inbox.

The problems aren’t with just one PC, or a single browser or ISP. The problems have occurred on the Mac too as well as all the browsers. They occur at home and at work. There were similar problems with the latest version of Firefox last week which lead me to downgrade.

Some quick Google-Fu lead to this interesting tip — using the ‘?nocheckbrowser’ parameter with Gmail (https://mail.google.com/gmail_?nocheckbrowser_). Evidently it tells Gmail not to try detect what browser — or something like that. Anyway, it made a dramatic improvement!
