The gmail login page changed slightly today. Earlier it wasn't like this.

I'm only seeing it in one user account on my computer

I was asking because it has a different button to usual (and I wondered whether it was a browser-designed one).

Kind of looks like the Google Reader buttons (which I like).

Yes. Can cookies be different on user accounts?

Should be (if by user accounts you mean like OS accounts)

Gmail uses many templates. Can you sign out and post the URL of the log in page (like this one: https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLogin?service=mail&ltmpl=wyze)?

Ok. Is there part of my cookie I should post?

Also I went into the correct account(in vista) and when i went to gmail.com it looked like this http://aycu25.webshots.com/image/19424/2000375967407260744_rs.jpg

Here is the url before logging in https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLogin?service=mail&passive=true&rm=false&continue=http%3A%2F%2Fmail.google.com%2Fmail%2F%3Fui%3Dhtml%26zy%3Dl&ltmpl=default&ltmplcache=2 . If you meant to sign in and then sign out Ionut the url is https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLogin?service=mail&passive=true&rm=false&continue=http%3A%2F%2Fmail.google.com%2Fmail%3Fui%3Dhtml%26zy%3Dl&ltmpl=default&ltmplcache=2&hl=en

I don't remember Google allowing you to have multiple Gmail accounts before, but there's no mention of it in the TOS so I guess they removed the restriction.

One issue with the new login template (which is named "default") is that the signup button calls it "Gmail" when it should infact read "Google Mail" (the rest of the template does).

Woops, wasn 't very clear. On the last screen capture you took it says "Want a new email address....Start fresh"

No! In one OS account I saw the new login, uploaded pic, shut down computer. Later turned on computer, logged into other OS account, saw no new thingy, came on here, typed 2nd and 3rd messages, logged off and into other OS account, saw S/S no.2 . I only have one account, xuanjames[put at-character here]gmail.com
