I’ve been trying to get in for the last ten minutes and it’s given me nothng but a headache and a 502 error. I’ve tried it from two other connections. Nothing’s working.

It’s working for me now, but yesterday, it was down for a few minutes. Give it some time, and they’ll have it up and running again.

I just managed to get back in. Thanks, everyone.

(Is it just me or does Gmail hiccup more these days than it used to?)

I’ve had a few hiccups the last couple of days although that may be my computer. Someone told me that it could be the firewall or antivirus messing with gmail so I updated those and also updated and checked for spyware.

After that it seems to work. I could have been just a coincidence though and maybe it just got better while I updated things. _shrug_
