Gmail Gfail
Remember my ecstatic post three days ago about ridding myself of the wretched Invite a Friend box from Gmail? Well, it’s back.
I’m going to have to investigate this further. I don’t want to use a browser extension to hide it. However, if that’s my only option, I may cave.
I’m a control freak when it comes to my critical information systems, especially when it comes to managing my email. For years now, I’ve been staring at my “Invite a Friend” Box in my gmail account, and for years, I’ve had no need to invite anyone. I’ve googled for hacks or Google Labs features to remove the box, but never found an acceptable solution.
Then it hit me. If I use up the invites, the box should go away. If it doesn’t have a purpose, a reason to exist, the server gods at Google will surely remove it from my Gmail web interface, right?
Fortunately for me, yes! And all I had to do to claim those pixels was to send 99 gmail invites to myself. Piece of cake.
