iGoogle?

I'm not a big fan of iGoogle. I don't really see what is making it so great for others. I rather like the Good old homepage of Google.

Refresh during game play

I've been playing this Flood-it in cavas view and right in the middle of the game the browser refreshes.  I see the refresh rate in the address window is =1,  Changing this does no good it still refreshes. How do I turn refresh off while in game play??

igoogle layout

I hate the new layout.

I like the tabs at the top,uses less space but on my browser IE7 the side tab only appears when I sign into notebook.

If I don't it appears the same but I use the notebook to save links and other site info.

The most infuriating feature is that this doesn't happen with google chrome.

Why the hell is a feature being forced on me if I use IE but not googles own browser ?

Another vote against the new

Another vote against the new layout. Now I see blogs discussing new start up sites with similar functionality to the old layouts. Plus greasemonkey scripts to delete the wasted left nav space. Google should have made this an option in templates....

Ugly and Useless

What's the point of this new tab?  What was wrong with the old top-tab?  Why not give us a choice as to which we prefer to use?  Some of us still use 4:3 monitors, and the horizontal space consumed by this "new" tab is unjustified!!

Agree

Like more the old one.

YEAH I TOTALY AGREE WIT YEW

YEAH I TOTALY AGREE WIT YEW THE OLD GMAIL STINKS AND ITS BORING THIS IS DA BOMB

I like this iGoogle thing. I

I like this iGoogle thing. I like the background, so simple. Let's see in few days of using it if i won't get bored. But i like google very much..

Huge fail

I don't like it... why are there links on the side of the page for widgets I can see right on the front page. It just takes up page width. That's why I put them on my screen... so I could see them on my home page.

And speaking of the front page... my Firefox Home button is iGoogle... but if I'm in the GMail tab... clicking my home button goes to GMail... NOT the normal iGoogle front page. And speaking of GMail... I don't like the GMail tab... I'd rather be in the full GMail site.

Remove left tab on iGoogle

For those of you using FireFox download the GreaseMonkey add-on and create a script using the following for all www.google.com/* pages:

var main = document.getElementById('col1');
if (main)
{
    document.getElementById('col1').style.display = "none";
}

 

This little script removed the annoying left tab from my theme, hope it helps.

I have not seen it

I just checked Google and do not see anything different about the way the main page looks...yet. One of the things I always liked about Google is the clean, no ads interface, the less they mess with it the better.

New Igoogle

It's nasty- a total waste of space.  I hate when a page I "created" is changed-I had not idea this was coming and hate it!!! Why can't I choose whether or not I use the new?  The other was useful-now I have all my info crammed into essentially 4 columns instead of the 3 I had set up. Why, why, why?  Just because it's a change doesn't mean it's bad, or good.  It's bad because it's a  BAD design.  Bad.....nasty....ick.....

Not bad

Not bad but i still prefer the regular google page, nothing watsoever.

iGoogle update virus?

 I guess I'll have to follow up on this one - one of my end-users kept getting virus alerts on Friday - I traced it to her iGoogle page - every time she clicked on something in the page so that it refreshed, up popped a virus alert.  Since it just started Thursday afternoon, and had never happened before, I have to assume her iGoogle update could have had something to do with it.

its good

honestly its good. I tried it and found good.

What about me!

can't wait for this to be available to us down under. A big fan of the old so i'll be interested to see if its an improvement. Like anything new, it will probably take a little while and people will get use to it.

Hey Now

Its settled, since everyone agrees its terrific Ill try it.

New Improved IGoogle

Aren't people strange.  We get excited about new improvements, and yet we hate change.  After a few days we settle down and love things.

Personally, I love the new changes and the menu on the side is very helpful.

Love Igoogle

Despite all, I love Igoogle. In fact I do have 5 computers in different places and I uploaded IGOOGLE menue and program in all of them.

The New and Improved iGoogle

I am finding this "new and improved" version extremely frustrating and user unfriendly.

I don't like the  new

I don't like the  new igoggle homepage either and have already gone back to my Yahoo start page.

Google? What Google?

I had to go look and see what the fuss was about as I have been happily using Yahoo for some time now (a default when i changed computers, most likely). But from looking a the stats on my lyrics site, I know I'm in a small minoruty.

All for change...

I kinda like it. It was time to freshen things up. But I guess it takes some getting used to.

Not a big fan...   Software

New design

You can't please all of the people all of the time, or maybe you can.... perhaps Google could look at offering and making it easy to switch between various canvas layouts so that the user can choose which he is satisified with - this includes repositioning the side navigation on some templates, since this is a bone of contention.

I'm sure that they don't want to alientate anyone, and from first look I thought it was fine to use, although I appreciate that HCI issues are very subjective.

Luckily I won't need to change my own iGoogle gadget viz:www.webstertelecom.com/destinations

 

The embedded gmail removes

The embedded gmail removes hyperlinks, which imho, does not save time and energy; if a new window or the full version must be opened, what's the point of the 'shortcut'?

I've never cared for iGoogle

I've never cared for iGoogle at all.  I really like the uncluttered interface of the regular Google page, so you'll not find me changing over any time soon!
