1. the option in the verbosity options tree view auto forms mode
enabled/disabled, what is that? I thought that maybe it would solve my
problem of forms mode turning itself off when I'm composing messages or
writing on the walls, particularly I've noticed this in facebook. I thought
that this feature might disable forms mode from automatically turning off,
but that didn't work. 

This checkbox allows you to determine what happens when the current

page is updated while you are in forms mode, either as a result of user
action or

server action.  When checked, Forms Mode will be switched off. When not
checked, Forms Mode will remain on.

The default is checked.

Please note you should do this from  configuration manager.  Not verbosity
options. verbosity options is a temporary settings, where as configuration
manager makes the settings  permanent.

 

 

 

2. I remember hearing somewhere that you could stop JAWS from reading
webpages automatically. I find this useful when looking at new sites but
don't need it for ones that I am familiar with. and i know the
obvious,pressing control. but I got a bug in my ear that you could now get
JAWS to not read the page when it first loaded to allow for quicker
navigation. Does anyone know if this is possible and how it can be enabled
for certain sites?

asked for your second question, I do not have the answer.

If someone else does know the answer to this question I would greatly
appreciate it.

Also it would really be nice if there was a way of having it say the name of
the link and then the link just like it does when you press the tab key.
