  1. that happens 2 me all the time 2.....i don't thnk there is a difference between the two (if there is, its a slight difference, i haven't realized one yet)....just keep on opening it through basic html [or watever works], most of the time though it is opening it the standard view u just don't know it hope this helps!!! :-)
  2. The Gmail Help Center suggests... "If you're directed to the basic HTML view of Gmail, but would like to try using the standard Gmail view, visit: http://mail.google.com/mail?nocheckbrowser." The Help Center also says, "If you sign in to Gmail using a browser that isn't fully supported, you'll automatically be directed to a basic HTML view of our service." Here's a list of web browsers that are fully-supported by Gmail: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=15314&topic=1554 There are some other suggestions for how to correct this at the Gmail Help Discussion forum http://groups.google.com/group/Gmail-Problem-solving/browse_thread/thread/62fe3842b0f061af/4c02e4f164cd6a8d?lnk=gst&q=basic+html&rnum=5#4c02e4f164cd6a8d
  3. doesnt it show 'switch to standard view'...?
  4. if the problem is not on your internet connection, try enabling your javascript
  5. Sometimes this is just a result of your browser (or browser version) not being supported or JavaScript not being enabled. The basic HTML view for Gmail is compatible with almost any browser. If you attempt to sign in to Gmail using a browser that isn't supported fully, you are automatically redirected to the HTML view. Basic HTML view is different thank standard because you are unable to use Filter creation, Spell checker, any keyboard shortcuts, email address auto-complete, and customized "From" addresses. To try and access the Standard view, sign in to Gmail from a fully-supported browser, and be sure that you have enabled JavaScript in your Internet Options. Gmail supports: --IE 5.5+ --Netscape 7.1+ --Mozilla 1.4+ --Firefox 0.8+ --Safari 1.3+ If you are still directed to the basic HTML view, try going to http://mail.google.com/mail?nocheckbrowser. (Standard view may not work even with this link, you arent using a supported browser!). Hope this helps!
