I have a similar problem but it only started after I upgraded to AVG v 8. Are ohers with this problem also using AVG 8...?

GRRRR it is an add-on causing trouble but I took EVERYTHING off: DOM inspector, Download StatusBar, Firefox Showcase, FireFTP, Foxmark Bookmark Synchronizer, FOxyTunes, Google gear, I heart Miro, Moviefone Toolbar, Post to Wordpress, Readeroo (which I love) Stumbleupon, Tab Mix Plus, and Wordpress Post.

Any of these prime suspects?

Tor replied on August 02, 2008 16:43 to the question "Is there any way to upload .pdfs to Google docs yet?" in Google:

This is a real shame. I'm a bit fan of Google and would like to use both Google docs and Google sites but without the functionality of being able to upload jpegs and PDFs I will need to look at alternative sites. Unfortunate because you lose the cohesiveness of everything being grouped under one organisation.

GMail has a new "Never send to spam" option when creating a filter! This is perfect for my needs.

I got satisfaction.

A comment on the question "google doc writer and image insert" in Google:

Neil, What about using Gears localserver to host the image currently on the clipboard. It shouldn't be to hard to do. The only thing left todo would be to have Gears transfer the image from the localserver to Google servers when the user hits CTRL + V. Granted that Gears settings for that website allowed this. Let me know what you think, i wouldn't mind doing some of the coding (on Gears). – ian, on July 22, 2008 21:26

ian replied on July 22, 2008 21:08 to the question "google doc writer and image insert" in Google:

What about Granting JavaScript access to the clipboard would that help?. This would require google docs's code to use the image it now has access to in the clip board and do an asynchronous upload, maybe?. I don't have much knowledge of borwser and javascript but should'nt that be possible.

Its official it doesnt work on my iPhone, on iGoogle, on my jabber network. Its just dead. As if my mail account is not linked with my Google Talk

Sebastian Rodriguez replied on July 10, 2008 18:03 to the problem "Chatless Gmail" in Google:

Yes, that also hasnt worked.

Sometimes my connection is a little skittish, and I'll get these problems. Have you tried opening chat in iGoogle? That worked for me last time.

Email still not working....

Wesley replied on July 08, 2008 07:39 to the problem "Please provide a response so BETA user can send feedback?" in Google:

Hi Neil and thanks for starting the dialogue: I guess am looking for access to deliver FEEDBACK for Google LABS gTALK BETA. A friend and I both use gTalk to communicate and we downloaded the BETA from LABS. Neither one of us can copy.paste info into the BETA. Does this help?

Neil Fraser replied on July 07, 2008 16:25 to the problem "Please provide a response so BETA user can send feedback?" in Google:

Thanks for your feedback. Copy and paste is well supported by the Windows version of Google Talk (right-click menu and standard shortcut keys). Are you referring to a version of Google Talk for a mobile phone by any chance?

Sebastian Rodriguez replied on July 06, 2008 20:26 to the problem "Chatless Gmail" in Google:

Does not work.... so I guess ill go for the "awful lot of things", right?

Neil Fraser replied on July 06, 2008 20:22 to the problem "Chatless Gmail" in Google:

First, take a look at the bottom of the screen for this line:
Gmail view: standard | turn off chat | basic HTML Learn more
Make sure that it says "turn off chat", not "turn on chat".

If that doesn't help, give us more information. "Does not work" could mean an awful lot of things, so there's no starting point from which to debug.

I'm not on the Gmail team, but I might be able to point you in the right direction.

cyberadam replied on June 24, 2008 01:28 to the question "Company Name" in Google:

Neil,
Per your request, here is one of the URLS. They change so fast in the browser that it's hard to capture! I am able to access all other apps for your domain services that are setup (and can access google docs when I have gears disabled). I really appreciate the assistance:

https://www.google.com/a/husik.com/Of...

Neil Fraser replied on June 24, 2008 01:04 to the question "Company Name" in Google:

Before you attempt the fixes above (if it's not too late), any chance you could capture one or both of the URLs that are looping? That would help us figure out where the loop is. Thanks!

Neil Fraser replied on June 24, 2008 00:58 to the question "Company Name" in Google:

Thanks for the details. I've got the original engineers who coded it looking at this issue, as well as QA. Two initial thoughts are:

1) Swap http for https in whatever URL you are starting from.
2) To reset, go to Tools > Google Gears Settings and remove http(s)://docs.google.com.

Let us know if that does anything for you.

cyberadam replied on June 24, 2008 00:20 to the question "Company Name" in Google:

Neil, thanks for your response. I am running the new Firefox 3 on OS X. When I go to gears.google.com I get the message that:
-
Gears is installed
Current version:
0.3.24.0;official;opt;osx;firefox
-
Nevertheless, when I go to the docs page for my domain, I get the loading error - nothing displays on the screen - just loading with the address in the address bar jumping between the http and https version of the site.

Any ideas?
