Main Points Raised

  • One participant reports layout problems in Avant when accessing Gmail and National Geographic, stating that previous forum responses have been ineffective or unclear.
  • Another participant mentions using Opera and Firefox on multiple XP machines without experiencing issues with Gmail, questioning how the first participant determined that Avant is the cause of the problem.

There is a problem in Avant when getting the web page for gmail. The layout is screwed up. A similar problem holds for National Geographic. Avant forum responses for fixing either don't work or are too obscure to interpret. Has anyone found the correct fix??

I use Opera and Firefox browsers on three different XP machines, and I haven't encountered any problem with GMail. I've had Avast running on all the machines for several years.
How did you determine Avast is the cause?

I am talking about Avant (a browser), not Avast (anti-virus) code.

To see that it is Avant, I can open gmail with another browser (such as Orca, a sister of Avant) and it will open properly. Similarly for National Geographic.
 
Avant people finally corrected it.
