1. You may be seeing a cached page
try clicking the Refresh button.

If that doesn't work, it could have to do with what browser you're using.

2. Yeah, it's probably the browser you're using.
I know for a fact that Google absolutely hates the supremely superior browser Opera, to the point that they are constantly upgrading their stuff with bad code and standards ;)

I set mine to "Identify as Firefox" and it suddenly worked! So, I had to set my page to identify as an inferior browser for it to work :P

7.  I had to backhack from www.google.com/firefox to just www.google.com
/firefox seems to point to the plain vanilla interface.

12. Worked right off for me on Firefox this morning.
I bet if you had done a refresh it would have appeared. google.com wasn't in my cache since I usually use the Google search box in my browser's toolbar.

:hi:

13. I've tried these suggestions, and Wesley's link -- nothin';
:( Guess I'll have to wait until I get home and try it there. If it's still up.

I wonder if it could be blocked by the firm's web filter. Anyone?
