Google Chrome

[whiskeryron]

My system is W7 & the search engine I am using is Google Chrome. When I open my gmail I click on To or BCC for my list of contacts & all I get is a blank page, please can anyone suggest how to open my list of contacts?

Top left is the Google logo.
Under that is plain Google with a little arrow to the right. Click the arrow and then click contacts.

Thanks hc, I know how to find my contacts in the normal way as you have suggested. Please read my question again ( if I have made it clear)

[chelle7272]

have you tried the drop down box where it says 'contacts' in the window ahic pops up, try selecting 'all contacts'

[AB Editor]

Have you got some kind of pop-up blocker on Whiskeryron? Could be that?

Hc,
I think WR is trying to get a contacts list to appear when he clicks the link label "To" next to the "To" field. This usually results in a pop-up of contacts you can pick from.

chelle7272, I have recently installed Google Chrome which is reputed to be a very fast search engine ( which it is ) previously I was using Firefox. When opening Gmail in Firefox to send a message to my contacts I simply click on To or BCC in order to indicate to whom I wish to send my email then immediately a page opens with the list of all my contacts & I tick those that I wish to send to. With Google Chrome however when I go through the same procedure the Contacts list opens but remains blank. I have just tested Firefox again & it is ok, Google Chrome is not.

Chrome is not a search engine, it's a browser.

(and I agree with the Ed, it's probably a pop-up blocker)

[whiskeryron]

Hi Ed thanks for your input, I have checked for Pop Up Blocker & have unticked Block Pop ups. Still the same a page opens entitled 'List of Contacts' but remains blank.

[whiskeryron]

Thanks Chuck I eagerly await any other suggestions.

After turning off the pop-up blocker, you probably need to refresh the page before it will work correctly. If you use Adblock plus, you really don't need a pop-up blocker.

Cheers rojash.

Do you type in a letter, for instance, I use chrome and if my cursor is in the To field and I want to send email to AB editor e.g., once i type in the letter 'A', a list of contacts beginning with that initial come up and i highlight the contact i need

[whiskeryron]

Thanks headwreck, I know that I can bring the contacts up by typing in the 1st letter my problem is I have about 30 contacts & I have been so used to bringing them all up through Firefox & ticking the ones I wish to send to I was hoping to do the same with Chrome, I do like it & it is so much quicker than Firefox, if you can figure a way to do this please get back to me.

I think I may have solved your problem, Ron.

Click on compose, then click directly on To

Thanks hc but no. It works perfectly if I use Firefox but not with the browser I wish to use Google Chrome I still get a blank (blue coloured) contacts page with nothing on it. I have started using Hotmail for my emails & everything is ok but if I attempt to go back to using gmail result =Failure.
