Error infuriates Gmail user... |
Many Gmail users were unable to access their accounts Wednesday, confronted instead with a "502 server error." Although the problem was a minor inconvenience for some, certain businesses complained of significant setbacks to their overall operation until the problem was fixed. Representatives for Google were reluctant to give a solid time frame for a resolution, but reminded users that they were working diligently toward a solution.The Gmail Team acknowledged the problem around 2:00pm Wednesday, identified the source of the problem before 8:00pm, before finally solving the issue just before 5am Thursday. Users across the globe were affected, but no details were provided regarding the number of accounts involved. |
