I believe that any message board that deals with medical conditions or any sort or neuro or psych conditions should block the widgets and any of the flash stuff like animated gifs, etc to make the site more accesable to people with disabilities. I hear this argument on message bords all the time, people complaining that it makes things run slow, etc, but I hardly ever actually hear anyone complaining about it as a accessibility issue. For someone with photo sensitive seizures, it can make the site imposible to go to if there is a bunch of flashing widgets around every corner. For someone who uses screen readers, assistive technology or anything like that (that would be ME) it makes it that much harder. Personaly, I dont mind looking at them, and there dosent seem to be many of them around here, but some forums it seems every person has one, along with a signature that spans the whole screen, ugh. When you have all this junk clog up a forum it just makes it that less accessible

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
