Re: 2016.2.1

Hi ! I can see where you’re coming from, Gene, but using the automatic upgrader doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll never be able to get hold of older versions of NVDA again. I mostly download the .exe file of each new NVDA version before using that installer to upgrade my NVDA, but, if I choose to use the automatic upgrader instead, I still download the installer from the NVAccess site afterwards, then I will have it for future use if I need it. I’ve been lucky not to have had to downgrade NVDA, but I still like to have the old installers available on my computer in case I ever need them. That’s just the way I do thins, it’s up to others how they choose to update their NVDA. Bye for now! From Clare

I've almost never done an NVDA Upgrade using the automatic upgrader. The reawson is that it is an example of what I consider excessive automation. If I'm wrong, I hope to be corrected but as I understand it the update installs over the current version and doesn't keep the current version's installation file. That makes going back far too inconvenient if someone wants to. I strongly believe that the updater should ask where you want the current exe file if you want to revert. You should be able to update and still be able to go back easily. That ability might make people far more willing to upgrade.
There may be different ways the NVDA designers want to have the upgrade work but I strongly believe that until such a system is introduced, that people keep a copy of their current installer so they can revert without worrying about where to find it.

Here's my answer to your question, Semirhage , and I hope others will agree with me. Even though some things in NVDA updates may help Windows 10 users, NVDA is still compatible with all Windows versions from XP onwards, so plenty of improvements to NVDA arriving in each update will work on Windows 7 as well. I use Windows 7 here, and updating NVDA has never caused any extra problems for me, so any Windows 7 user can still safely install NVDA updates, given that many of the changes benefit all of us, not just Windows 10 users.

Good morning to all, I have been using NVDA and Facebook for a couple of years and without problem. I find the http://m.facebook.com page of Facebook more accessible and friendly to use. I have yet to run into a problem where I could not do with NVDA what someone could do with eyesight. Blessings Pascal

Hello:
I tend to use Firefox on my Windows 10 PC and so I need to press the Shift and the Alt keys together but if you are using Chrome, you just use the Alt key. Each of the main sections on Facebook can be accessed by pressing a number. For instance pressing 1 will take you to your newsfeed and pressing 4 will take you to your inbox. These numbers need to be pressed with either the shift and alt key or just the alt key depending on your operating system and your browser. Below I have listed the shortcuts needed to access the main sections within Facebook. Shift + Alt + 0 takes you to the Help page.
Additionally, your newsfeed or timeline can also be accessed with different shortcut keys. These just require single letters to be pressed and are the same regardless of which operating system and browser you use. I have listed them below.
Pressing the forward slash (/) will enable you to search.
I hope these instructions are helpful.
These instructions are also contained within some videos that I have created. You can access the videos (each has a full text transcript.)

Re: Creating a Message Filter in Thunderbird
Rich, Are you using the IMAP protocol to access your email messages or POP? You generally only create message filters within an e-mail client, whether it's Thunderbird or other, when you are using POP. If you are using IMAP filters are created on the server side and all the assignment of messages to folders occurs on the server side. I worry a lot. . . I worry that no matter how cynical you become it's never enough to keep up. ~ Trudy, in Jane Wagner's "Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe"

Hi Rich,

OK, assuming you are doing everything up to this point correctly: When you get to the item that says: 'choose folder' treat it like a combo box. Use the keystroke alt + down arrow to open it and then use tree view type keystrokes (right arrow to open a collapsed item left arrow to close) to navigate. then use up and down arrows to continue navigation. If you see a folder that says collapsed then use right arrow to open it';s structure and down arrow to a sub folder. Once you have found and highlighted the desired folder, press enter or space bar to be sure it is selected. Then tab to the rest of the dialogue and make selections.

I use the mobile site all of the time, and it is very easy to do the basics, send message, post, comment on others' posts, and much more. It is so simple, because there is no adds or apps or anything like that on there. It just has what you want, and you can navigate just like on any other web sites. Yes, much better to use the mobile site! Take care.
