From one of Chris' previous postings to this list, I found the : following: : : To subscribe to the Blind Facebook list, send a message to : 'b-f-b-subscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' : : The only other things which might be of use initially are 2 quick tips that : I only found out about because my sighted son told me about them. : : Firstly, I believe that there are 3 links near the top of the page which : were unlabelled. I think that they come immediately after the first : occurrence of the "Home" link - or at least they used to. I noticed today : that the interface appears to have been changed so perhaps this has now been : sorted. In any case, once I had been told what they were for and had used : the Graphics labeller to label them sensibly, the page made some more sense. : I think the links were "Friend requests", "Personal messages" and : "Notifications". : : The other thing that will probably not be obvious is that to log off the : site, you first have to click on the "Account" button and then scroll down : to the "Logout" button. The account button activates a small menu that : opens up on screen. A pain until you know about it!! : : I also noticed that generous use of the letter H key is very helpful as : Facebook makes a lot of use of headings on the various pages. : : Apart from that I'm a bit in the dark myself at present. : : Good luck. : : Jamie : : -----Original Message----- : From: jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On : Behalf Of Paul Roberts : Sent: 25 February 2011 23:01 : To: jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx : Subject: [jaws-uk] Facebook query : : Hi all, : : Using JAWS 12 with windows XP and IE7. : : I finally joined Facebook on monday night but this was after I had : experienced a number of dificulties the previous evening. : : So far, I have got a small number of friends. : : I am using the main site as I don't think you can get much info from the : mobile site but could well be wrong. : : I feel that I am going round in a circle and could do with some help please. : : Tonight, I attempted to view all members of a particular page but for some : reason, I am unabel to do it. : : Also I sometimes find that when I enter on a link, I don't seem to be on the : : page I wanted. : : That said, it could be that the same amount of links appears on all pages : which makes it a little confusing for me. : : Also, I am finding it difficult to locate my friends on Facebook and also : any messages sent. : : Although I did find the page earlier on with my Friends messages on it, I : can now no longer find it. : : Any tips as to how I can successfully navigate round Facebook would be very : much appreciated. : : Thanks. : : Paul. : : : ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- : ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] : ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: : ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx : ** and in the Subject line type : ** unsubscribe : ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the : ** immediately-following link:- : ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] : ** or send a message, to : ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq : : : __________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature : database 5909 (20110226) __________ : : The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. : : http://www.eset.com : : : : __________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature : database 5909 (20110226) __________ : : The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. : : http://www.eset.com : : : ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- : ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] : ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: : ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx : ** and in the Subject line type : ** unsubscribe : ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the : ** immediately-following link:- : ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] : ** or send a message, to : ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq : ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
