If the user then creates an account for the first<BR/>time, we take the preferences in the cookie and save them to his/her<BR/>Google account. But, if the user *already* has preferences (gadgets,<BR/>etc.) in their Google account, and adds the tab without being signed in,<BR/>we add those preferences to the cookie-based page, but NOT the<BR/>Google-account based page. This is to prevent you from getting the stuff<BR/>your kids/roommate/spouse/etc. added to your shared computer while you<BR/>were out. We treat the users signed-in page as sacred, and hence you can<BR/>only make changes to it while you are signed in. That's the only way we<BR/>can be 100% sure you wanted to make those changes."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-81077988325513081162007-09-10T05:25:00.000-07:002007-09-10T05:25:00.000-07:00It'd also be nice if Google would allow gadgets to...It'd also be nice if Google would allow gadgets to have integrated buttons (the top right ones, Down Arrow, - and X ) so that they could look more natural, rather than nice looking gadgets in ugly boxes.<BR/><BR/>Also, it's a bummer that with a customized theme Google has turned off default link coloring, so if you click a link in a feed it doesn't change color, indicating to you next time that you've already read that one. :[Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
