This social network does not work on Konqueror 4.2.0. If I don't use user agent, Konq gives me a blank screen.

If I use, for example, MSIE 4.0 on Windows 2000 identification, the home page is shown and also does the Scrapbook and the Communities list, but I cannot enter neither in the communities nor in other people profiles.

This maybe because it uses iframes, and the links have %3F, instead of ?. For example:
http://www.orkut.com.br/Main#Profile.as ... 4600932215
This is a link for a profile. But, in Konqueror, Profile.aspx%3Fuid=... is used instead of Profile.aspx?uid=...
Then, when I click in the link, I come back to the homepage.

How can I solve this?

Thanks.

This is likely a as yet unknown bug in KHTML, Konqueror's web page rendering engine.

Please report this, if it has not already been, at bugs.kde.org. When you do so, please post a link back here so future searchers can track the issue. Thanks in advance.

The same question mark thing happens in Facebook too. When I click any of the tabs in Facebook home, it shows the page for a second, then redirects to Facebook error page. And in the url bar there is a %3F instead of the question mark.

A user at KDE Bugs sent a possible solution:

"FWIW, UA-spoof as Firefox in facebook, and those sorts of issues will
disappear."

What is UA-spoof? I'm looking for it on Google, but I'm finding nothing much useful.

EDIT: Ah. It's User-Agent spoof. But, as I said, it doesn't work at all.

Konqueror 4.2.2 made a huge improvement on combatibility. Even GMail is working!

Thanks to the devs.
