[nabs-l] FW: [gui-talk] Google Search Settings Page NoLongerAccessible

Fri Dec 16 22:29:18 UTC 2011

Chris, how did you get your GMail service?
I did contact Web Visom's people, but they never responded.
I also found out, that it only works with Firefox.
I need something that will work for Internet Explorer.
They seriously need to fix their audio captcha!
Thanks, Joshua
