I’ve been having a gmail invite for quite some time now…but the link just doesn’t work ☹ when i click on the ‘Invite a friend to join Gmail!’ link, nothing happens, no popup . it worked before I installed SP2…perhaps msn doesn’t want us spreading gmail 😉 however, my firefox isn’t doing too much better… anyone got a solution? ---

Are you using Tabbrowser Extensions? 🙂 [http://gmail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=10282&topic=133](http://gmail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=10282&topic=133) (not the exact problem you’re having, but sounds similar…) ---

nope no popup blockers … still cant figure it out ☹ edit:: oops, i just realised that the norton internet security has ad-blockers 😛 never occured to me to switch that off. cant try it now, tho, cos i asked my bro to help me open and use that invite…will try it when i get my next invite. thanks for the help, anyway 🙂 ---

Norton ruins everything. It has become almost as problematic as windows. ---

just a quick update in case someone runs into the same problem…i found the root of the problem after receiving my next few invites: it was SP2’s built in popup blocker after all - had to add [gmail.google.com](http://gmail.google.com) to the safe list and it worked.
