[Blindtlk] Facebook

Is it understandable? Gmail also has an audio kaptcha, but I have 
found it to be very hard to understand.

Last time I checked, Facebook offered an audio version of their 
captcha.
You may be able to authenticate using this, depending on how they 
are doing
it these days.  If you have a cell phone that does text, you may 
also want
to participate in their two-factor authentication program, which 
sometimes
involves them sending a text message to your cell phone to 
confirm an action
you are taking.

I use the regular Facebook page, when I'm on it, but recognize 
that it is
quite complicated, unpredictable and dynamic.  Using Firefox or 
IE8 with
Window-Eyes 7.5.2.

 Hi Sheila,

 It's an inaccessible kaptcha, which is an image that contains a
 bunch of numbers and other characters that you type in as you 
see
 them.  That's their way to make sure you're not some hacking
 system.  However, that security check is inaccessible, and you
 will need a sighted person to read it to you; that is, unless 
you
 have Firefox as your Web browser, in which case you can use
 WebVisum.  Also, another Facebook tip which will make Facebook a
 lot easier and more accessible to use: use m.facebook.com 
instead
 of the regular Facebook site! If you have any other Facebook
 questions, please let me know!

 Change of subject chris I'm trying to set up a facebook account
 and it went fine until it asked me to put in something for
 security but i don't know what I'm supposed to put in and then 
it
 tells me i'm taking to long to enter whatever it is that it
 wants.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.
