Google Talk keeps appearing and disappearing from my Gmail accounts

It’s really strange: sometimes when I log in the interface exists on the left-hand side and sometimes when I log in it’s not there anymore.  This seems to be happening on both of my accounts, so I’ll just have to assume that they’re still ironing out some bugs.

Are you logging into gmail using https some of the time? I have heard that the chat feature does not work in this case.

I'm pretty sure that I'm logging in using https all of the time, but hang on and let me try not using https . . .

. . . that worked! Interesting. So if I enter using https://gmail.google.com, the Talk content does not appear, but if I use http://gmail.google.com, then the Talk content appears.

Hopefully they will fix that, because I like use the SSL login option.

Thanks for the tip.
