Hello All ,
I cannot access my orkut account using opera 8.5 , my system has java runtime files installed. I can access using IE. After i enter my username and password there is a "loading..." image displayed but nothing happens after that. What may be the problem?

Thanks in advance.

It doesnt open may be because the script they are using might not be compatible with opera (remember gmail problems with opera? same thing)

I dont know why but everytime I uncheck the JavaScript option in Opera both Gmail and Orkut open in a jiffy.

Why is this so :?:

Please comment

So, if v match the above reply with Deep's reply, then , will v get dat if v open GMAIL with Javascript disabled, it'll open faster

if u disable javascript then gmail will be slower because it runs totally on javascript and ajax...
so u will have to use normal html version of gmail..

Where orkut does not use javascript except login thing so you can directly login using the URL provided and get on to the site..

Even though I hav JavaScript enabled, GOOGLE opens a bit slowly.
So, shall i install JAVA also incase to open GMAIL quicker.
