2. The small task icons aren't displaying for each day.

The icons should display immediately once you've completed the steps above successfully. If they aren't displaying, first confirm that 'Remember The Milk' is listed under 'Calendars' in the left column (if not, it may not have added successfully). Make sure that the calendar is checked, and try unchecking and then rechecking the box. If the icons still aren't displaying, it may be a temporary problem with Google Calendar, so you may need to check again later.

3. I'm using Firefox and I keep getting asked to login in Google Calendar.

Some ad blocking extensions don't allow cookies to be set in iframes (Remember The Milk is contained in an iframe in Google Calendar). If you're using an ad blocker, this is a possible reason for the login not working correctly. To allow logins to Remember The Milk:

  1. Go to the 'Tools' menu in Firefox
  2. Click on 'Options...'
  3. Click on 'Privacy'
  4. Press the 'Exceptions' button
  5. Enter 'rememberthemilk.com'
  6. Press the 'Allow' button

4. I keep getting asked to login in Google Calendar (or am experiencing a loading issue).

Various firewall, pop-up blocking and ad blocking software, and browser plug-ins can conflict with this feature. If you use such software, we suggest adding 'www.rememberthemilk.com' and 'static.rememberthemilk.com' as exceptions to any ad blocking, script blocking, or pop-up blocking rules.
