"The Page you Requested was invalid"

When will Google change that Gut Ugly Colours in Writely

Ditto on both counts: invalid page . . . and oh, for that Google blue.

But well spotted Haochi!

Look forward to an improved Writely. The functionality is good, excellent even, but a word-processor is one application that HAS to look great. A nice clean interface is what's needed, with the menu bar as discreet as possible. I find Writely's big buttons a bit distracting, and still prefer to use Notepad or MS Word (with the menus hidden) if I don't need to keep the file available on more than one computer.

My dream is for a big white page you can just type on wherever you are, with none of the fuss.

dpneal, Oh yes. It's arguable but more into the way of Zoho Writer.

Yes, I would too. (Doesn't take much to make me happy.)

Well done Haochi! ;-)

We knew this would be coming and it was working in the sandbox [*] before they pulled it...

I just received this e-mail from Writely:

Dear [my gmail address],

In a few days, we will update your Writely account to use your [my gmail address] Google Account registration settings.

This means you'll need to use your Google Account password when signing in, not your Writely password (if they're different).

If you've forgotten your Google Account password, just go to https://www.google.com/accounts/ForgotPasswd

Thanks!
Google Writely Team
