    Looks like Google are making changes to GMail, and have removed the chat.

    Look at your messages, then click 'More Options'. It now shows:

    From: Someone
    To: you
    Date: 16 Apr 2008 21:17
    Subject: Some Subject
    Reply | Reply to all | Forward | Print | Add sender to Contacts list | Delete this message | Report phishing | Show original | Message text garbled?

    Some improvements by Google?

    I can use Gmail chat here - with no problems. Messages are sent to your inbox if the person whom you're chatting to messages you after you go offline.

    Google chat is working fine.

    I saw that already, but then it went back to normal

    Yeah, I logged back in, and it was fine.
    Weird, though.

    Gmail Chat's working fine for me. Maybe there was just a tiny glitch yesterday when they announced that Google's hiring! :D (See the front page of your Gmail login area)

    I haven't experienced any problem with gchat even when I checked yesterday. I guess not everyone experienced this type of problem?
