Hey does anybody have a facebook? If you do how do you deal with the little security check boxes using jaws? is it possible? Any input would be appriciated.

I have a facebook, and I know not of these "security checkboxes" of which you speak. I get around fine, though for some reason haven't been able to add friends lately. I'm not on it that much anyway, so it doesn't bother me.

thanks for input

check box? the one you use when signing up? if so, you need a sighty
otherwise, I have no clue what you mean.

mmhmm. thought so.

If you write to tech support, they'll set it up for you. I've found, that when you want to add a friend, you have to hit enter on the link, then use the jaws cursor to find the add button. I never had to do that before, just recently that started happening.

i got someone else to help me sign up, actually, i quite like it

Post 8 by Leafs Fan (I'll have the last word, thank you!) on Wednesday, 18-Jul-2007 13:11:11

Hey there. You will need a sighty to help you sign up, and you will need someone to verify your account through a cell phone so you can send messages. But after you complete those steps, you're set. Hope this helps.

I'm sighted and if anyone wants to sign up for that feel free to send me a private quick note on that. I can see the code and can put it up for who ever wants it. You can change your password anytime, so yeah feel free to ask if you got more questions.

I think facebook is safer, but then again, I don't have a myspace. If anyone wants to ad me, ask me for my link or find me in the zone bbs group.

Once you get passed the few sighted sign up things at the beginning, facebook's relatively easy to navigate with Jaws. If you want to add me, just look for Tamesha on the zone group.

I just asked them to remove the code for me and I have no problem now

Post 15 by cjohnmurph (Newborn Zoner) on Thursday, 20-Sep-2007 15:33:45

I use facebook because I'm a mitchell college student. It's pritty jaws friendly for the most part.

Post 16 by Leafs Fan (I'll have the last word, thank you!) on Monday, 24-Sep-2007 9:14:51

I love Facebook. Send me a private message on here if you want to add.

Post 17 by purple penguin (Don't you hate it when someone answers their own questions? I do.) on Tuesday, 25-Sep-2007 0:37:43

I just signed up and it has audio for it's verification. I used Firefox for it and it worked better.

Post 18 by singingsensation (I just keep on posting!) on Tuesday, 27-Nov-2007 11:00:10

Hi, I have a facebook if you want to add me. Just send me a private quicknote or email me if you want to add me. Is the ZoneBBS group a network? Can you switch networks? I live in Ohio, and it didn't have my school's network because they haven't created one. But I got placed into the Indiana School for the blind--I don't even live in Indiana!!! Is there any way that you can switch networks without having to sign up again? Thanks.

Post 19 by purple penguin (Don't you hate it when someone answers their own questions? I do.) on Tuesday, 27-Nov-2007 15:55:57

Sure. Just leave the network and join another.

Post 20 by YankeeFanForLife! (Picapiedra: king of the boards!) on Tuesday, 27-Nov-2007 16:00:19

Well any body could have told her that!

Post 21 by purple penguin (Don't you hate it when someone answers their own questions? I do.) on Tuesday, 27-Nov-2007 16:01:33

It took me a while to figure out how.

Post 22 by YankeeFanForLife! (Picapiedra: king of the boards!) on Tuesday, 27-Nov-2007 16:03:04

Lol! You have problums kid.

Post 23 by singingsensation (I just keep on posting!) on Friday, 30-Nov-2007 11:12:49

How do you leave a network?

Post 24 by Miss Gorgeous (I'm going for the prolific poster awards!) on Friday, 30-Nov-2007 11:46:06

Go the that network's homepage. Its in one of the options there.

Post 25 by singingsensation (I just keep on posting!) on Friday, 07-Dec-2007 10:45:42

ok--thanks for the info.

Post 26 by Reyami (I've broken five thousand! any more awards going?) on Friday, 07-Dec-2007 11:58:33

I signed up with facebook yesterday or the day before that. How do you write on your friends' walls, or whatever for their profiles?

Post 27 by purple penguin (Don't you hate it when someone answers their own questions? I do.) on Friday, 07-Dec-2007 20:50:57

Just go to their profiles and it should be there. same with your own wall you have to go to your profile page.

Post 28 by louiano (I'm going for the prolific poster awards!) on Friday, 07-Dec-2007 22:20:03

wow... it looks like no one bothers to scroll to the end of the page and read the help pages... that is why it is there for a reason! now, the networks thing can get a bit interesting. It placed me at the Litle Rock, Arkansas network although I could change it to suit my regional preference. Jaws 8 works much better with it as opposed to being frozen. I used the audio to sign up and since my cellphone has talks the text verification message took about 5 minutes to arrive but it was done alright. Writing on others walls is easy to doƱ navigate to their profile and on the last heading of the page usually there should be an edit box. You could just hit E you know...

Post 29 by Reyami (I've broken five thousand! any more awards going?) on Saturday, 08-Dec-2007 6:10:14

okay, thank you.

Post 30 by Morgan_Lynn (Account disabled) on Tuesday, 01-Jan-2008 11:11:50

did any one notise,. that the thing that says you need to verify your school that your attending is not there anymore?

Post 31 by louiano (I'm going for the prolific poster awards!) on Saturday, 02-Feb-2008 22:07:33

lol what the heck? that depends. I know some friends can do it for you where as other times you eed to provide and e-mail address that pertains to that specific school or organizaiont (like a college for example).

Post 32 by Siriusly Severus (The ESTJ 1w9 3w4 6w7 The Taskmaste) on Thursday, 07-Feb-2008 1:32:14

Facebook sounds interesting. Not on it though.

Post 33 by rc (Newborn Zoner) on Friday, 23-May-2008 8:31:19

I also have a facebook. I had myspace at one time but find facebook easier to use.

Post 34 by jen91_09 (777) on Sunday, 25-May-2008 22:43:02

I haven't been on facebook in forever, and forget my friends email (which I used to sign up), so i've got to get her to change it for me. ironic since I started this post huh? lol

Post 35 by Pure love (I'm going for the prolific poster awards!) on Monday, 26-May-2008 9:48:56

I have facebook but my internet explorer or jaws is so slow that I can hardly access it. Does anyone have a solution for that?

Post 36 by Twinklestar09 (I've now got the bronze prolific poster award! now going for the silver award!) on Monday, 26-May-2008 17:21:06

I just signed up with Facebook today. It was pretty easy to sign up on but the audio thing that says what to type in the box took a few tries for me to understand because there was garbled background noise in the recording. But since it read it slowly I was able to write it down and reread it then type it in. I'm glad they do have the audio thing at all though. *smile* I'm still in the process of filling out my profile though.

I have Facebook and I love it! If anyone wants to add me, just search for Kolby Garrison.

Post 38 by purple penguin (Don't you hate it when someone answers their own questions? I do.) on Wednesday, 18-Jun-2008 21:35:12

I noticed that some people get a bit application happy.

Post 39 by blindndangerous (the blind and dangerous one) on Wednesday, 18-Jun-2008 22:06:12

O yes, verry verry application happy. I keep mine down to a minimum. Find me as Mike Wassel in the zone broup if ya wanna add me. O, and u might wanna use firefox instead of IE. It runs a lot faster in my opinion.

Post 40 by kool_turk (This site is so "educational") on Thursday, 19-Jun-2008 8:52:57

going slightly off topic, does anyone know how to close the facebook chat window using firefox? with IE there is a close chat link. It doesn't appear in firefox. Apparently there is an X that you can click on, but jaws seems to skip over it or not recognise it at all.

Post 41 by purple penguin (Don't you hate it when someone answers their own questions? I do.) on Thursday, 19-Jun-2008 14:49:17

I can't get facebook to work too well with firefox. The chat is very difficult to work with, and I can't seem to change my statice message.

you may find me on facebook by entering jsears1986@gmail.com

I have a facebook, but I don't go on it because it confuses me my e-mail is radicalrachel1941@gmail.com

Post 44 by purple penguin (Don't you hate it when someone answers their own questions? I do.) on Monday, 02-Nov-2009 10:21:21

Use m.facebook.com or lite.facebook.com. The current layout is weird and scattered.

Post 45 by Siriusly Severus (The ESTJ 1w9 3w4 6w7 The Taskmaste) on Tuesday, 03-Nov-2009 0:01:10

good idea!!!!!

Post 46 by apanda (Newborn Zoner) on Saturday, 26-Jun-2010 21:42:31

how do i find a list of groups and applications with jaws? has anyone played games through facebook? if so which are accessible with jaws?

Post 47 by zackmack2000 ( extreme killer of the keys) on Sunday, 27-Jun-2010 20:21:10

I use miranda with facebook, so it's a lot easier for me. and as far as playing games throu fb, that i'm not sure of. but for those that have miranda or something and need help setting fb up to work with it pm me and i'll tell you how to do it.

Post 48 by saiyan4414 (the Zone BBS remains forever my home page) on Monday, 02-Aug-2010 15:42:39

The lite site doesn't work anymore, but I don't have issues with the chat or anything like that.

personally have not a facebook account

Post 52 by devinprater (Veteran Zoner) on Wednesday, 08-Jun-2011 19:58:57

I have facebook.
you can add me
devin.prater1
use
m.facebook.com
its much better, and before you ask, yes it is mobile facebook, and YES it does work on the computer its just a regular website, and no you can't use apps on it, and yes you can do everything you need to on there.

Post 53 by jessmonsilva (Taking over the boards, one topic at a time.) on Thursday, 09-Jun-2011 0:34:05

I don't think you can join groups on mobile facebook or networks and you can't use apps either which annoys me greatly.

Post 54 by devinprater (Veteran Zoner) on Thursday, 09-Jun-2011 5:39:32

Yeah. Well its better than having to use the cluttered up main site

Post 55 by jen91_09 (777) on Monday, 27-Feb-2012 21:28:33

Wow! i can't believe how this topic is still running! Ya know how I said like a few years ago (I can't believe this was posted in 2008), I said I never used facebook? Well, I just gave it up... well, cut down to only logging on twice a week instead of multiple times a day, for lent. Crazy how things change isn't it? :)
