RE: Social-eyes issues and observationsDate:
Thu, Jul 11, 2013 2:05:24 pmI am using Windows 7 64 bit machine with JAWS 14, and every time I open SE everything seems to freeze up. Can someone please tell me if there is anything I can do? It seems to do the same when I try NVDA too.

First, I can duplicate the wall posts issue. I tried to post on my friend's wall, and not only did I have to log in from the web; it completely erased my post as well. Or should I say, the text previously entered did not show up on the web. This is on Windows 7 64 bit. Second, Nvda works flawlessly with the app so far at my end, including the options list. Third, I think a lot of it's down to what the Api allows, rather than missing essential features of SocialEyes. But of course I do not use the Api so have little knowledge in this other than what I have experienced with this plus other apps that use social networking Apis.
