    Its weird, lately Gmail has been acting up on me i don't know why. I will open the page, the loading bar will come up. It will display my inbox page for literally 0.1 seconds and then go back to getting stuck on a full loading bar.

    What the hell? Restarting browser doesn't fix it either.

    If you can recollect, were there any addons you installed recently, after which you started seeing this behavior with GMail?

    Btw, in which browser is this? Firefox or IE or Chrome or do you see this happening in all?

    If it happens in all browser', then did you by any chance been playing around with any test app's from the Labs feature?

    In any case, for me Gmail has been fine always... and I still use it regularly...

    Its in firefox, and apparently its a known issue with Gmail when i googled it. It happens randomly but switching to HTML view fixes it.

    Does it happen if you start Firefox in Safe Mode (extension/addon-free) as well?

    GMail has been very problematic for me recently. Same with Google Docs (the site went down minutes before I had to turn in a paper that I had been editing on there).

    Didn't try that. Next time it happens i will.

    I bet its probably my theme or some sort of add on. The odd thing is that this started happening since my clean install lol.
