    For some reason my iGoogle isn't showing any widgets.
    The normal url is : iGoogle
    But I found out if I change it to iGoogle
    it works just fine. Anyone have any idea why? And what I could do to let the normal url work?

    Just covering all the bases, but does the same issue appear in multiple browsers? I believe it's working properly for me in Opera and IE9.

    It wasn't working in Chrome either.

    I tried it now with only /ig, and it automatically adds #t_0 and it works.
    Don't know how or why, but whatever.

    I've got another question if you guys don't mind. Some sites never fully load. I mean, they load completely, but the green Firefox circle keeps on spinning. ESPN for instance, does this. I can see it's waiting for w88.go.com. IE9 does not do this.

    Or like when I go to change my privacy settings in FB, the little box pops up but it has no information in it. IE9 does do this too.

    You guys wonder why these sort of things are happening? I'm also having one heck of a time posting here. I click post, and the status indicator next to "posting quick reply" doesn't move, I can only see about three of it's dots now. And if if I move the cursor out of the text field it has the win7 spinning thing going.

    It wouldn't post so I had to click on "go advanced" and then it would post.

    I can't edit either obviously. So I have to do another post.

    I'm thinking there's something common with all these issues...
