I just had a friend help me set up facebook yesterday. I'm finding many limitations which apparently so are a lot of screenreader users. Anyone use? I go between mobile facebook and the regular one to accomplish anything. Any pointers? Thanks, Randi --~--~-~--~~~---~--

Hi Randi, I used to use the gmail notifier on my pc, but since the Mac's mail application makes a noise whenever you get mail if it's open (even if you're doing something else), I haven't needed to get it. I don't know if that helps any. Also, yes, I have a ton of trouble with facebo

Group mode? Whats that? I can only write on walls if they write on mine first. I can't access anyone's profiles to start any kind of dialogue, other than commenting on people's status messages. Eliza Cooper wrote: > Hi Randi, > I used to use the gmail notifier on my pc, but since the Mac's >

I actually didn't have to do all that navigation. I just went to web under the VoiceOver utility, tabbed once and used VO right arrow. Instantly I saw the options and selected the group mode radio button. As for Facebook it's a large and cluttered site. I like the mobile version but find that it

I tried setting up an account, using Face Book, but because I'm hard of hearing, the capcha was hard to navigate for me. Is there a toll- free number to get assistance? Richie Gardenhire, Anchorage, Alaska. On Mar 5, 2009, at 11:25 AM, Tiffany D wrote: > > I actually didn't have to do all

I'm able to comment on my own status. H. Well if someone comments I can comment back. I can't seem to access profiles though. Sometimes I can just out of the blue and then other times I can't. That stupid so and so added a photo or commented yada yada thing is pretty silly, but so far the site

I am surprised to hear that facebook is giving people so many problems. I actually have found that voice over is better than JAWS in certain situations. As far as doing basic things like commenting on status updates, when you are reading through and you come to the word "comment" hit VO+Spacebar.

Hi Elena, haha no worries about the subject. Its back to the original now that I've hit reply. I thought I'd need to edit it. Strange. I think we've got gremlins. I'm brand new to VO so all the stuff you said about facebook went right over my head haha. Maybe I'll make sense of it later though. O
