		<description>I have a hopefully=temporary sight issue.  This is my second round of optic neuritis, connected with Multiple Sclerosis.  

Whereas I usually have my font set on extra large on my computer, it is no longer sufficient.  For your reference, understand that instead of seeing the whole width of a facebook page on my screen, I must use Ctrl+ three times to be able to read the script and to read what I am typing.  

This works just great on fb, thanks so much.  

Except for the new mail/chat page.  I cannot scroll over to see the whole message, so I type my message, then use ctrl- to reduce the page so i can hit the submit button.  

Reading the messages from my friends is even more difficult.  I can read part of the line, then have to reduce the page and guess at words.  I was using a small magnifying glass to help with that, but I think the dog took it somewhere. (not my homework, and maybe I just lost the item, but it sounds good!)

Any ideas for me?  

I personally don&#039;t have a crisis every time you change things, I go with the flow and bow to your knowledge etc.  I wish you all goodness and light, and think you are awesome!  I&#039;m home-bound and you make my life better.  

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

		<description>As some one who uses a screen reader When I found the Facebook mobal  site I went from only logging into Facebook once a week to severl times a day. That beeing said there are still certan features that are not included in the mobal version of the site, and I have taken advantage of the accessibility page to report them, and I hope other blind and visually impaired people will do the same.</description>
