hello orkut freaks,
in a silent move today orkut has introduced a new feature in its User Interface.
Now users with low bandwidth has an option to switch to light edition and this is prominently placed by a banner display if the page loading time exceed certain limit.
also the feature can be accessed through setting also.
This low bandwidth version or what we can call lite edition of orkut has following features most prominently visible one’s
1) Pictures ae not shown except profile pic.
2) birthday list turns into a calender with name’s listing only.
Also Apps are by default minimized now and on selecting particular app its data is fetched.
In short by removing these picture’s a lot of bandwidth can be saved
But a lot more could have been saved if embedded object’s could have been reduced to links.

to get back to default theme just go to theme option and select disable theme, but that only disables theme,
btu if you shift to low bandwidth version this also means that you reduce bandwidth consumption.
