Yipeeee...my profiles look is changed. However I would prefer an AJAX or self refreshing scrapbook..u know like if I reply to someone's scrap from my scrapbook...the whole page reloads, why not just the scrapbook section loads itself. Like the "Personal" "Professional" "general" links on main profile page.

Addition of few themes colours would be better too...

well...mailed all the feedback to orkut just now

i think this is a marketing strategy again.. from the so called Big G..
people will talk more about orkut this way..
"Mine changed.."
"why not me.."
"watz happening to google.."
i m still waiting"
etc etc

The newer interface sucks...
All the new interfaces.. be it yahoomail, live etc suck the bandwidth out of us gprs users..

The AJAX versions of Yahoo and hotmail don't work at all with GPRS. If you want to use them then you will have to spend atleast 10 minutes just to log in. But the new interface of orkut is working fine on GPRS using Safari for windows on PC

yeah mine too changed. but i didnt like it. IT SEEMS A BIT GIRLISH TYPE :cool:
but now i can send SCRAPS FROM OPERA MINI TRU MOBILE :mrgreen: but it is still very difficult and complicated top send from opera mini. u hav to reload the page 2 times to send 1 scrap :mad: and some times it doesnt work too
