[NFBCS] How Do You Use the Scrolling Feeds on Facebook with JAWS without It Flinging the Focus All over the Place

[Lewis Wood]

I use Jaws, so I press “q” for main region. Cursor down from there and I will hear “What is on your mind?”. I press spacebar and I can start typing a post.

 

Easiest way for making a “Friend Request” is from their page. 

So whenever I encounter a graphics image of a profile “you know the letter G to navigate by graphics”.

I press enter to go to their profile page/wall.

Once on their wall I press letter “q” to go to main region.

Then I press “b” for button approximately 2 times until I hear “add friend”

 

I made this facebook tutorial a few months back.  Enjoy…

Hi and Yikes!

I just setup a Facebook Account.

I don’t know what, or really how, to setup my profile data and there are a bunch of links to do things.

A long time abo I could just read pso things folks posted, on my daughters page.

Now I am not sure how to ask a friend request, do I just lick the button or do I type something into the message box below the button and I that a message app or just a post to the friends timeline or whatever or wherever those things would show up.

Any good tutorials on using Facebook, m.Facebook, from a blind perspective that clears up all the various links and pages and boxes etc…

What gets sent, when and where it shows up on my friends facebook and what to expect to be added to my facebook  due to various links and boxes?

I have been reading google tutorials but most are as clear as mud, sigh.

Thanks for any suggestions, sure appreciate anything:

I also miss the more stories button. Since they implemented forever scrolling it can be challenging on older devices.

 

On Windows I use H3 for navigation between posts and “g” for profiled photos/comments navigation within a post.

 

Getting back to a posts is difficult. So good luck…

 

When I get to the end  , I apuse and cursor up and do shift+h3 navigation. Typically I wil then have to do it 4 or five times, because loading has auto loaded them.

 

I fast track to the like button on a post by  pressing “g” repeatedly until I hear my name. then just cursor up a few times and click like. Then watch my focus jump.

 

I use http://m.facebook.com , perhaps some other more ambitious person will give you detailed work around on the standard site.

            Just now, I tried to read a feed in a Facebook group, using heading navigation to move between the posts, but I ended up giving up after only a few posts because, every time that I get near the bottom of the feed, it scrolls the feed without maintaining the focus, so the focus goes off the end. When I try to move back up by heading back into the feed, it just causes it to scroll more. Wash, rinse, repeat… Any suggestions on the best way to do this? I don’t use the mobile site, so please do not give that as an answer.
