Anyone else having trouble getting into Gmail this morning?

Apparently I'm not the only one:
Help Discussions - Logging In | Google Groups (http://groups.google.com/group/Gmail-Help-Logging-In-en/topics?gvc=2&ctx=l_login)

Anyone else?

If so, I can only think that more posts to their Board might help :)

Mine's back up now.
I was getting the preview in iGoogle too... but still Gmail would not load.

I bet they fixed it after seeing this thread at the all powerful AMHD :)

I just heard on the local news that the problem was world wide!

I've got to give them kudos for 1. handling it so quickly, and 2. for this being a unique issue.

I've been down before but learned that it was a local issue with my isp.

I do love gmail :)

I like it too but I still miss some sorting features like Outlook or Yahoo does.

I know what you mean. I missed those things for awhile... but after a couple years I've forgotten what I missed :)

Seems Patch Tuesday got them good: Google blames Gmail outage on data centre collapse • The Register (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/02/25/google_gmail_data_centre_fail/)
