I tried what Dave suggested, and it works. While in "say all," a press of the 
right shift key does, indeed, skip to the next line. Very useful. I wish I'd 
picked up on it long ago.

Yardbird, I'm afraid no messages are more anger-provoking than yours. You 
should try to examine that as you lash out at other listers.

Dave,

could you please leave out the sarcasm and telling me what to do or not do. 
Thank you. Now please tell me what you mean by your message. I mean the right 
shift key. Tell me exactly what to do. So far, I'm reading either by down 
arrowing a line at a time, just because I want to do it that way sometimes, 
Dave, or using the Say All (Jaws key plus 8). Now please tell me how, using 
either of these methods, you want me to include the right shift key. Just 
exactly how.

thank you. And don't tell me how to feel. I was civil your excortication wasn't 
civil. Very basic stuff, my man. Very basic. And if Dave doesn't wanna help me 
because he would rather be a bully , someone else tell me what he unmans about 
the drift key.

Bless the gentle folk, thanks for everything, yadda yadda. Okay? Thanks. dowwan

Joel, quit complaining. JAWS has a solution. . Use the right shift button to 
skip lines as you read.

Laura,

No offense intended, but your email sig, below your message is a *lot* of lines 
to have to listen through with Jaws while waiting to hear just the headers of 
the message to which you're responding. Please, nobody tell me to hit escape or 
delete when I see Laura's name in my Inbox. What if I don't hate her? Okay? So 
let's forget that old saw. Thank you, beloved but sometimes short-fused folks.

The problem with that version, however, is since it's the mobile version, most 
of the applications are not available in it. I'd rather use Twitter.

I prefer the accessible Facebook site, which seems to work pretty well with 
JAWS. It is much easier to navigate than the regular Facebook site.

Do you use it Laura? Does it work better for you than the regular, more 
graphical, site? I might have heard about it on this or another list, but at 
the time it filtered through that part of my brain that isn't being used unless 
it is really needed. <grin>

Hi all,

Has anyone else tried the accessible version of Facebook's site. You can find 
it at: http://m.facebook.com As more people have asked in training about 
Facebook I've been trying to come up with instructions and quick ways to get 
places and such. I decided to read their help center to see if they mentioned 
anything about screen readers and sure enough they did! I sent this link on to 
a former client yesterday who said she'd been struggling with Facebook for 
weeks. I had a note back from her already this morning saying that she was able 
to find everything she'd been looking for on the regular site using this 
accessible version. It would be interesting to hear other feedback on this.

Sue B.
