Hi Amit,

Thanks for taking the time to help me with this. I was sent a picture as an
attachment. I saved the attachment (when I save attachments it
automatically saves it to my documents). When I’m on Facebook trying to
post this picture I can’t figure out how to find it to post. I click on
browse but haven’t been able to figure out how to get to that picture to
post it. Do I need to move the picture from documents to somewhere else in
order to post it to Facebook?

Laura

Hello,



I use Facebook from my laptop via the mobile site (m.facebook.com) as
it is much easier to navigate than the regular FB site. I have
Windows 7 and Jaws 15.



Is it possible to post pictures on Facebook through the mobile site?
If not, how do you post pictures from the computer to Facebook? Any
help would be greatly appreciated.

I've never understood the appeal of the ribbon system and it's a mystery to me why it was ever introduced.  When Office 2007 came out it was as much a tectonic shift for me as when Windows 8 came out and virtually everything familiar about Windows disappeared with it.

I find you comment interesting in that most of my blind clients use keyboard shortcuts, at least to bring up a menu (or enter a ribbon).  I actually try to teach the keyboard shortcut "chains", e.g., Alt+F followed by S for save or Alt+F followed by A for save as (and some chains can get much longer), since for most "point and click" usage of a menu is a non-starter.  I teach these as well in reference to the ribbons, e.g., Alt+H followed by 1, to toggle bold formatting, for things that a client uses really frequently and that they need to be able to activate/deactivate with maximum speed.  I'm trying to imagine how you go about, or went about (since full menus are long gone), accessing the menu system where keyboard shortcuts would not be "step one" at least.

I'm having that same issue.

Hi, everyone!

 

The same issue I wrote about previously with Amazon is recurring: a captia required when signing in, making the site entirely impossible to use. Does anyone have a phone # for Amazon so I can try to resolve this—AGAIN? Thanks!

I realize that we have people participating here via e-mail list and others, like myself, using the Groups.io website specific to this forum.  This would apply strictly to online forum access.

Is there any way to make threads show with messages in reverse chronological order - newest first?   As threads get longer and longer it becomes more and more tedious to work through the pages, and I generally am looking only for the last several contributions since I've read the earlier ones on threads I follow anyway.  This setting is available on many online forums, but I cannot seem to locate it here.  But the fact that I can't locate it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

If there's a way to make the threads be presented with the newest messages first, working back to the oldest, I'd love to hear what that is.

Maria,

Thanks for that info, which now leads me to a closely
related question: Do you have to hit Enter on any of the object types,
e.g., radio buttons, check boxes, buttons, before the usual control
actions (space bar to toggle in those examples) will actually function,
or is the Enter limited to objects where text is expected to be entered
(and that's an edit field only, isn't it)?

I can tell I'm beginning to fade at the moment, and
midnight's still a bit over two hours away. Happy New Year to all!!!
(Pardon me if I start snoring!)

Mike,

       Trust me, I take my printed list of keystrokes tied to the same release of JAWS a given client is using with me to EVERY session!!  My poor head is getting so full from the information sharing here the last couple of days that it's impossible that it will all stick until I start using it!

Brian

Mike & David,

          Thanks for the follow-ups.

          It's interesting to encounter a confusion on terminology because of switching between products.  I always try, no matter what product I'm tutoring on, to stick exclusively to the terminology they use in their documentation for object X.   It took me forever to call what all the rest of the world, including most web programmers, call a text box an edit field.  I also get that different products use different terms for "the same things."

          Back to the subject at hand, I've never received an answer to my earlier questions regarding whether or not anyone has tried using Google Drive for Desktop, which is available for Windows or Mac, and can be downloaded from this Drive webpage?  I actually quite love it, because it creates what appears to be a regular folder named Google Drive on your desktop and in Windows Explorer/File Explorer.  You can just drag and drop files to and from this folder and it uploads, downloads, deletes, what have you those actions are actually synchronized to your Google Drive in the cloud.  You can create folders within it, too.  It's ultra convenient, if nothing else.  It's not of much use, though, if you want to access your Google Drive on a machine that's not your own, and you would still need to be able to navigate the Google Drive webpage then.
