Fixed offline issue in Google Chrome 3.0.195.21

Thought I'd post this in case someone else is facing the same issue.
After updating to Google Chrome version 3.0.195.21, RTM would always come up in offline mode, and would refuse to go online. When the 'Go Online' button was clicked, it would spin for a while and then popup the message box saying 'RTM could not go online'. All other websites would come up fine. IE/Firefox was fine.
I fixed this by going to 'Options->Under The Hood->Gears Settings and removing ALL the sites that were permitted to use Gears. Next time I visited RTM, the Gears permission window came up, and once I clicked yes, the site came up in Online mode.
The best thing about Google Chrome btw, is the speed, and the fact that in 'Application Mode', it removes all menus etc and makes RTM look like a native app. Give it a try if you haven't already.

Yeah, we've been having some problems with the latest few versions of Gears (0.5.16.0 and later). We recommend keeping it disabled to prevent loss of data or connection problems like you're seeing.
We posted some more details on our status blog when we initially encountered the problem.
