What's new with orkut? (Last update 09/26/08)

Multiple profiles with the same Google Account: We created a special form for users affected by the bug that resulted in multiple profiles being created with the same Google Account. Please read carefully the introduction to this form to make sure this is really your case because the fix will run only on profiles affected by this bug. It's also very important to reply to orkut's autoresponse to trigger the investigation. Without the profile owner's reply, we won't look into the request. Thank you for your patience during this period and for all the reports that helped us find the correct way to the fix.

Right click enabled for Photo Owners: Photo owners can now right click on their pictures in their album and save them.

New Feature Update - Friend Requests: We wanted to give you all a heads-up on a new update with the "friend request" feature. All of us would have at some point received annoying friend requests from unknown users. In order to prevent this from happening in the future, we'll have an automatic system that will prevent certain users (based on user complaints and other signals)from sending mass friend requests. Therefore, going forward you'll hopefully only get to receive "friend requests" from users whom you want to receive it from! Please note that this is a new feature update and not a bug on orkut.

Note: This will cause a time-out of one week i.e, once you're blocked, you'll have to wait for one week before you can send out new friend requests. We appreciate your patience and sorry for any inconvenience.

Google Videos on orkut: We are temporarily removing Google Video as an option when adding favorite videos on Orkut and sorry for any inconvenience this causes. You continue to have the option to add videos from YouTube in a single click.
