Title: Gmail.
Post by: Techno on 11 June 2018, 09:28:18 AM
Anyone else having problems with Gmail....Or with the internet in General, today ?

I CANNOT access my gmail a/c (although it worked perfectly very early this morning.).......and even though I can obviously post on the forum......The forum seems to be behaving very oddly, too.

(Everything's REALLY slow, and I've been kicked off twice.

Hope this works THIS time.

Just done everything I normally do with no trouble.

It must be you.

Restart your router.

Thanks, Jim !!!  :) :) :) :) :) :)

That seems to have done the trick !!

I wonder if it was something to do with a MS update that had me updating and restarting the PC, this morning.

Routers are strange and wonderful things and don't always do what they are designed to do.

Think AI and world domination and temporary idiots.

In the good old days when I worked in IT support there was always a demand for 'switch it off and on again'.

Isn't that normal?

I've just downloaded an update which 'provides more stability.' As a result my computer is now all over the place, e.g. as I am typing this the words are appearing on the screen about two words back and in a stop-start fashion, so thanks for that El Capitan.

If it's a new Adobe Flash player update, Andy....That's the one that I'm blaming !!

MS Windows is a terrible operating system. It's constantly needing updates and the so called improvements lead to more problems. The updates are so badly coded they leave stray bits of code lying around which cause problems.

I changed to a chromebook for home use a few years ago and haven't looked back.

I'm afraid I'm such a computer 'Numpty' Martin.......I wish 'they'd' leave things alone....I get used to 'how to work things'.....and then 'they change things' and my brain has a complete meltdown.

AAAARGH !...... I'm far too old for this poop. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D  ;) ;) ;)
