Google Loses Personalized Homepage Preferences

By: Andy Beal

Nathan Weinberg is reporting that hundreds of Google users have found their Personalized Homepages settings in a flux.

Users are coming into their accounts and seeing them rolled back several months, losing the last few months of customizations, and any attempt to edit their pages and fix it gets rolled backwards.

Google appears to be aware of the problem, it just doesnt know how to fix ityet.

Yikes! So sorry about this everyone but thanks so much for coming here to report it. Were now in frantic-chase-down-this-bug mode here at the Googleplex, and I hope to have more info for you soon.

For now, were not entirely sure of this, but its possible that changing your homepage theme might cause the problem. SO, if you still have your homepage intact, please avoid changing your theme until
further notice.

The big question I know youll all want answered is whether youll get your homepage back once we sort things out and the really honest answer is that I hope so, but I just dont know yet.

Thanks for all your patience and helpful details. I will update this thread as soon as I can.

As we were saying, if you use Googles free services, dont expect them to be available 24/7.
