Hi Ray,
I've only just re joined the list so I may have missed your earlier posts on
this matter. Who's advised you of these key board functionality changes? and
from what team? E mail me off list if you want.
I would agree that in touch isn't worth us wasting our time with, and I doubt
whether You and Yours will treat our view seriously either. We need to jointly
make our dissatisfaction known to the head of future media and technology
within the BBC, and at the same time to their head of diversity for breaching
their obligations for due regard for equality of opportunity under the DED.

Nice to know people are now concerned about the IPlayer, a subject I brought
up a few weeks ago.
Someone working on the team concerned with this has emailed me to say the
sadly lacking keyboard funtionality will be implemented though I don't know
when because, as I understand it, a halt is being imposed temporarily on code
changes to the IPlayer over the period of the Olympics.
In fact this keyboard support is a very bad oversight by the Beeb, especially
seeing that Adobe do publish information on how to give access to the time
navigation slider and volume and other controls.
By all means contact Out Of Touch, but their distain for listener input is
well known. In fact You and Yours should be a better place to air this bad
example of falling down on the accessability job.
Seems too there is more screen reader vendors could do to improve on Flash
accessability, but then one well known amongst them would rather indulge in
screwwing up the competition with useless and inane law suits.
Cheers,
Ray.

I've just submitted a complaint about the inaccessibility of this, and I
suggest that others do the same. Wonder if "Out of Touch" would be interested?
