Hi Graham

 

Sorry to be so thick but I don't understand where the button to click is at the top.  At the bottom of my webmail page is this:

 

 

You are currently using 57 MB (0 %) of your 7593 MB.
Last account activity: 8 minutes ago at IP 62.254.26.101.   Details
Virgin Media Mail view: standard | turn off chat | basic HTML  Learn more

the word "standard" is not click enabled whereas the "turnoff chat" & "basic html" are.

HA!! Found it. Whilst I was writing the previous post, I thought "What would happen if I clicked "basic html" at the bottom?" So I did & the standard line came on!! Excellent.  Thank you Graham for getting my brain in gear!!

Re: Suddenly gone from standard webmail access to basic html. Why? And how do I restore standard pls

please can I ask how I can go back to basic html - my system is sometimes slow and the ads on standard take up too much room on my laptop and make it slower.

 

However, every time I click on the link to basic html as email starts up it doesn't work (or if you blink you miss it).

 

Is there a link somewhere else I can click on that doesn't rely on fast reflexes or its gone!

From the sticky post at the top of the forum by Mark Wilkins

 

Basic HTML View

 

You can switch to using the basic HTML view for webmail by adding &ui=html&zy=s to the end of the URL you normally access our webmail with. For example:

 

https://mail.blueyonder.co.uk/mail/?AuthEventSourc​e=SSO&ui=html&zy=s
https://mail.ntlworld.com/mail/?AuthEventSource=SS​O&ui=html&zy=s
https://mail.virgin.net/mail/?AuthEventSource=SSO&​ui=html&zy=s
https://mail.virginmedia.com/mail/?AuthEventSource​=SSO&ui=html&zy=s

 

You can switch out of the basic HTML view by clicking on "standard" at the bottom of the page.

You could try deleting temporary Internet files and restarting your browser.
