Hi, dusty: I have changed the subject line, as you see. I have a Droid 4 with 4.1, I use Verizon Mobile Accessibility, and I mainly use the physical keyboard on my phone, though I do sometimes use taps and other gestures. I just find the keyboard to be more precise for me. I do use the mobile version of Facebook, m.facebook.com. I use the mobiel version of FB on my PC and on my Braille Plus Mobile Manager and have no trouble at all using it on these other devices. But it appears differently on my phone.
1. How do I post a status update? I can find where it reads "What's on your mind? but there is no link there. I have tried using the ok key and the enter key on that line, but nothing. I have tried the link just below "What's on your mind?" but it takes me to the following post page. 2. How do I post a comment on someone else's post? I have tried pressing both the ok key and the enter key on the comment link, but I don't find an edit box to type in. More questions later...
