Someone's posting how great this site is, encouraged me to raise minor accessibility issues. I hope you are not angry that I post this. The main accessibility problem that I can think of now, that I encounter with my braille display/screen reader, is that the post boxes for new messages and replies are in a frame. This way, my program won't let me post in the post box without being in something called "forms mode", and I can't get in forms mode without going to aan editing field or checkbox first - it won't go in that mode from within the frame. Also, I can't start new paragraphs without the program going out of forms mode again, so I have to go to another field again and get back into forms mode. This is why I generally post one-paragraph posts. I can work around this to some extent, but it is a little annoying. The solution would be to have the post box as an editing field rather than a frame. Is there any way to make this possible, maybe optionally? I don't want to be an inconvenience, I just want to make suggestions for making this site as accessible as possible. If you don't mind, I'll try to check this site for accessibility issues and post them in this thread if I find them. I encourage the technical staff of this board to make the site as open to people with all kinds of disabilities as possible. Again, I don't hope I'm a nuisance by pointing this out.
