Looks like guys at Google really have trouble with multi-accounts and sessions. Everything was working fine for months now, but they messed it up again. What does the problem look like:

• I have 2 google accounts, one @gmail.com and other @mydomain.com
• I cannot login into @gmail one directly. I have to log into @mydomain and then use the “switch account” feature
• I cannot bookmark both gmails. Although bookmarks are different, both open @mydomain account
• Most other google services I use (ex. Analytics) are tied to my @gmail account. I cannot access those at all, unless I log out of everything, clear all the cookies and then log just into @gmail.

My user experience with google is getting worse every day:

• multi-account login problems
• google docs become painfully slow when spreadsheets grow 300+ rows (only about 10 columns though)
• search is polluted with g+ spam, translation offerings, etc.
• on one of my computers it shows my location in the wrong country and I cannot find a way to tell it differently.

If someone build free replacements, I would surely give those a shot.

I have a conact form on my website. People can leave their e-mail so that I contact them back. I set it up so that e-mail is sent From my e-mail address (general rule: never put user’s e-mail in From field), and Reply-to set to user’s e-mail address.

However, when I click “Reply” in GMail, the reply gets sent to back to me. Looks like some glitch in GMail’s design, and they did not bother to fix it for a long time.

The solution is rather simple, just change the From field to some other address you own (different from GMail account address). For example if your e-mail is office@example.com, you can use support@example.com in the header. After this little change, Reply-to started working properly.

I hope this helps someone.

Today I noticed something really strange. I’m logging into my GMail
account, and the login page redirects the browser to some youtube.com
subdomain before redirecting back to my inbox.

Looks like now I can “like” YouTube videos without having to log in! Hurray!

Although this is a strange way to make it work, I appreciate the
end-result even if it means one more redirect. I just hope Google
won’t do the same for all their services, because having a dozen
redirects before logging into GMail would really be bad.

Please, please, PLEASE, stop changing the € sign in my messages to
word EURO. You don’t translate $ into DOLLAR, so keep my € as it is.
