Yup, I lost my stuff too. Way to go Microsoft.. oops I mean Google. You might want to test run something like this before you implement it. Just a thought.

I really wish Google would have asked instead of just changing all of my settings without asking. Now I'm missing a ton of stuff, and I just reorganized it a few hours ago.

Mine has been out now for a few days, I get used to it. Bookmarks still work, I suppose that makes it bearable. Living in the Netherlands, makes me member of a different group than those that lost theirs today. Friend of mine still has his theme, no tabs present, thus not lost, content modified. I have two more pages, no tabs to be lost, and they seem to be ok, even including theme. It feels sour, the iGoogle logo. I think I want to revert to my native language and get very angry. I don't think I am going to restore my Google Personalized Homepage.
i think i temporarly restored mine. im NOT touching themes again till google releases press release saying its all fixed. thats what induced my problems

My personalized homepage JUST came back up, and was down since 11am EST. Good luck to everyone else! Google: hopefully you can learn from this situation, and the roughly 600 comments about this issue.

Mine was gone. I contacted google through the igoogle help area. now my homepage is back like it was before this fiasco. It would be nice if they would tell us what the heck is going on......

Make that number 654. Mine is now working...at least on my laptop. I'll check tomorrow at work. It looks like it all came back. Too many bookmarks to count, but the newest stuff is there. I was pissed and still believe they should have asked, but props to the tech crew for getting us (for the most part) back up. Now, just get rid of the "i".
