Aww Douglas, not a problem! I discovered this purely by accident when I
changed the language to English (UK). The page layout altered, and, like
you, I could no longer change the settings within the basic view. So I
put it back and all was well again. Maybe one or both of us could
contact Google and comment about it. For those using Mozilla Firefox, if
you disable javascript from within tools, options, content, and you go
to the home page of your Gmail account, you'll first be told that you
can't access the standard view. Just ignore and click the first "click
here" link to switch to the basic view. Hope that helps.
