Hi. Before I give up and consider deleting my Facebook account, I'll bring up discussion to see if any of you have considered the same frustrations when using Facebook.
I've read on Applevis that setting Safari to react like Firefox or Internet explorer should make the mobile site of Facebook very useable. That won't work for me all the time. I experience things like the language changes, normal links which I could read a few seconds ago are translated into english graphical links, and when I click on these, nothing happens. The only way I can come back to the site again is by reloading the page, and if that won't work, I type m.facebook.com again in the address bar to reload the page. Then I'm able to navigate the site for a few minutes, and then the same happens over and over again. this makes the site nearly impossible and very frustrating to use! I've got a mail from Facebook telling me that someone has tagged me on a picture. If I click the link to show what picture it is and to comment, the normal unusable Facebook site comes up. I expected to find this notification on the mobile version, but I can't find it anywhere while going through my frontpage. How do I figure out what picture some random person has tagged me on, and how do I add a comment so I can ask this question? Each time I'm trying to give Facebook a chance I run into issues like this. Every time I spoke to other blind people who're using Facebook, they don't use these features, they keep say just use the mobile site or they don't have a Mac where all these issues seems to happen. The Facebook support says that screenreader users just have to use the mobile site, but what do we do when they only supports Internet explorer? I'm really considering deleting my Facebook acount and make the totally switch to Twitter. If family and friends won't follow, well, that's their choice. I find myself spending hours on trying to navigate the Facebook site. SOmetimes it works and other times it's just impossible. I really hope to get lots of great input here...
