GMail, Loading
May 17, 2008
I’m sure many GMail users would have seen the ubiquitous “Loading” message that pops up in the right-top corner of the browser window while using GMail. It generally pops-up to indicate some work is going on in the background….maybe fetching a message or returning back to the inbox from another folder or even upon deleting spam messages. But today I noticed a totally different “loading” message in GMail:
This, as I signed-in into my GMail account. There was also a ‘Loading Standard View | Load basic HTML (for slower connections)’ message at the bottom-right corner. Maybe they’ve changed the loading-sequence and this is a way to tell the users that “hey, we’re doing the best we can…maybe you should get a faster connection”

As far as I am concerned, I am willing to wait for those extra few seconds to use the best email service on this planet.
But still, let’s hope they are working hard to improve the loading times. It takes ages to open your inbox on a slower connection.

@Harsh: That rocks Maan! I promptly uninstalled the G-Skins extension and got the stylish one. Tx.
@Krishna: They’ve said so on their Blog abt improving the loading speeds. Hope it fires up even faster
