Another dissatisfied Google user added to the list. May 1st, and it just happened to me, too. You'd think that with the first post being dated to April 26th, Google would have the problem fixed by now. I'm not even gonna bother trying to reconfigure my Google homepage...they'd just better fix it. My homepage was as much my life as my computer is. I blame the whole fiasco on the new iGoogle, whatever that is.

I didn't have the problem before when so many others did, but this morning my page reverted back to one I had several months ago. I haven't tried changing the theme or anything in weeks.

Great launch of "iGoogle." Did Apple buy them? How about "GHome" or "GPage?"
I'd advise not trying to modify anything, in case they are able to "re- do" it. I'm afraid if I modify anything, it will essentially wipe out my previous version.
Me too, no changes for a while now. Just blipped out this AM. I was blissfully unaware of earlier outages and am a touch ... disgruntled..... I am in Denver as if it matters. Does anyone know if there was official word about the earlier outages????
I just lost mine this morning - I followed a link on it to a news article, hit the back button, and it was completely wiped clean. I logged out and back in to no avail. I had read about this happening a few days ago, but mine wasn't affected at that time. What's going on?
I'm in Southwest Wisconsin, but it seems like I'm the only person in my office that uses the google homepage that's had troubles. I hadn't changed my homepage at all, or changed the theme (I used the "teahouse" one). Some of my other co-workers are using that theme as well, and they aren't experiencing any problems. It seems like it's some other sort of problem... perhaps what was on the page (I had three tabs, mostly RSS feeds, but I also used the "comic" plugin) or maybe a problem with a specific set of users... maybe when they signed up, what other google services they use, etc. (I use gmail, google docs, and google code).
I'm sure you guys have thought of this already, though. I hope you track down the bug soon, though!
Mine was fine until this morning (1/1/07). Now I have reverted to an older version and of course, only one tab. I will wait a while before I move on to another site for my homepage. When I do move it will be calendars, mail, and everything else.

Sorry for the delay in posting. I wanted to jump in to let you know we've been keeping a close eye on this thread and are continuing to investigate the remaining missing homepages.... as well as the recent reports from those who've just lost your homepages in the past few hours.
