[nabs-l] Facebook and Accessibility (or rather lack there of)

[Cindy Bennett]

I like the mobile site, but when it comes to things like looking at
pictures, any captions people write for pictures are not on the mobile
site. Also, can you tag people or places on the mobile site? I try the
same way it is done on the regular site, putting an @ sign before, but
it does not work.

Thanks.

Cindy
