What a surprise recently when I opened up my Google Homepage. It has changed from Google.com to Google bg. Why has this happened after so many years in Bulgaria? Not a big problem because everything else is normal and there is a banner for translating the home page to English. Just wondered why this has suddenly happened although Google has been talking about new things happening which I ignore! Why change when things are alright? However, that's just me, I suppose others want more security etc. I am still terrified of most things to do with internet! I'm just a 'silver surfer' as we are called.

You don't have to use google bg you can change it if you want. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Thanks but I already do that but when I return to the Google homepage its back to Bulgarian. I suppose I just have to use the translate all the time. I just wondered why Google has suddenly done this.

Can't you go on the google home page should be [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and then set it as your homepage?

:Thank you:Just done that and it worked although its now totally different to the old Google format. Has lots of info on it and I will have to find my way around but it has my mail on it and some news and weather. Thanks. By the way, what does the ig stand for please?

It's something to do with the page but you can set the page as you would like it in other words you can add and remove the stuff that shows on the page.

Lisa is right as for th ig ? I think somehow it just refers to that page? and even if you change the things on the page it still remembers who you are so it should load the same every time.

Thanks both. Google has been informing me of changes which I have ignored. That's probably why I have now been forced to change whether I wanted to or not much like so much of the internet. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
