Google Personalized Homepage is a Google innovative product that allows you to create your own homepage with Google Search, Gmail content, calendar and many other tools, of course all provided by the search giant.

Recently, multiple users reported that they encountered problems when they were trying to add new gadgets to the page, but Google
said the company can't identify the problem yet. Because the search giant wants to repair the issue quickly, the employees posted a message on Google Groups to request the help of the users. "Well, if you've been having problems with your homepage settings not sticking once you reload, gadgets you've deleted coming back, not being able to add new gadgets, being stuck on one tab, or other similar "my homepage is stuck like this" weirdness, then we may have a solution," the company said on the Google Groups thread.

So, Google says you can fix this bug by resetting the preferences for your Google Personalized Homepage. How can you do this? Well, the company also provides the necessary steps to reset your settings. First, you should login into your account with your username and password. Then, you should follow this link that will redirect you to the Reset Your Google Personalized Homepage. Now, you should click on the "Force Gadget Undelete" button and return to your Personalized Homepage to see if the bug was fixed. No matter the result of these steps, you should inform Google about it because the company is continuously working on a solution to fix these issues. If you want to help Google fix the problem, you should send the company an e-mail message or you can post it on the specific Google Groups thread.
