[access-uk] Re: FACEBOOK

Hi again Carol and all,
I've just been having a quick nose around the mobile site of Facebook and it works with IE6 alright. However, IMHO, the full site is better. Yes the mobile site is simpler but it has no headings and not everything is displayed on an individual/group page for easier access. On the full site you have the discussion board, the video section, the wall etc all displayed clearly and one can jump to them directly using headings navigation. Discussion topics and videos are further sorted in subheadings too. The full site works fine with Jaws 9 so one shouldn't dismiss it without trying it first. Just my opinion.
Carol, sorry didn't mean to put you off Facebook, not exactly anyway LOL! If you decide to join one thing to keep in mind, you can change your email preferences on what Facebook notifies you of. It can get a bit tiresome when you get an email every time one of your 10000 friends, which you obviously had never heard of them, uploads another hilarious photo of their cat! 

Excuse the heavy cynicism :)

Cheers,
Amro

Oh, this gets better - so to crack the nut, I need to find and install and then become familiar enough with Firefox, then whatever the other software is in order to read the capture ...
I didn't think the mobile sites work with IE. Thanks at least for confirming that this one doesn't.

Hi Carol,
Those are true.
              Also, http://m.facebook.com for convenience for
              generally reading news feed updates.
The mobile site, m.facebook will work in Firefox, but not in IE.
Best regards,
Orhan Deniz

Hi all,

I posted a message a few days ago and asked these questions, but
maybe it didn't arrive ...

Has anyone signed up to Facebook recently and so can confirm or deny
things
I recall hearing ...

1)    You're still best to use the English-US settings;
2)    You can overcome the capture if you sign up using your mobile?

In addition to these questions, how are people getting on     with
Facebook generally, in terms of access with screen readers?

Thanks for any information.  Loads of my friends appear on Facebook
these days and I'm thinking I'm just going to have to "bite the
bullet!
