[Nfbc-info] about Facebook chat

Hello Listers,

    About Facebook chat, yes there is a popping sound when someone sends you a chat message, but the popping sound only happens when you receive their first message. For any messages following from the same person, there is no sound at all. You just have to keep checking the messages above the edit box to see if any new one has come in. At least this applies to JAWS users. I have JAWS 9.0. If you need more clarification, feel free to email me at dgoraya at ucla.edu.
    Also, just to throw this out, lately, I've been noticing that when I want to write on someone's wall, I go to the edit box to type the posting but JAWS freezes and won't read me what I'm typing anymore. It takes forever to read what I've written after I'm done typing. It only goes back to reading the message properly after I've posted it. The same applies for sending a private message to someone. It didn't used to do that before, just recently. It always used to read my message back right away before I sent the private message, or before I tabbed to the post button. Has anyone else experienced this in the last two or three weeks?
