Hi.
After i heard that google fixed that character box and they added audio i tried to create an accound. But now they added something else. We have to enter a mobile number and they send an invitation code as a text message and we have to type it.
It's anoying. They fixed one accessibility issue and they created another one. So does anyone know if there is another way of creating an accound without using a mobile phone?
Thanks
Nikos

Sorry, I don't know the answer to your question, but on a whole different slant to google's inaccessibility, for some reason, I'm unable to add my gmail account to my outlook express. I've definitely input the right information, but it's still saying that I have to change something on the server to do with mail forwarding. Only problem is, I can't find it.

Danielle, I'm guessing you have to go into settings on the google mail page and change the mail to a pop3 account. Can't remember where it is exactly, but you have to use the standard layout to be able to change settings on there.

Nikos: They just added the mobile text message thing as a second way to get an account. You can still get a Gmail invite from someone and join that way. I'm sure if you ask that someone can send you one.
