I'm able to comment on my own status. Hmmmm. Well if someone comments I can comment back. I can't seem to access profiles though. Sometimes I can just out of the blue and then other times I can't. That stupid so and so added a photo or commented yada yada thing is pretty silly, but so far the site is ok.
Richie, I got a post in my techie forum with a link to a blog where someone said she called to get help setting up her account. I'll go try and find the link. I'm in a brain fog today though, so I might get lost in la la land. I had a sighted friend help me but it sounds like there's a way to get help. I'll go look for the link now. Wish me luck.
