Ian,
Absolutely, I mailed YouSearched to let them know about the problem and
also to give my compliments.
Initially I received the following reply:-
Thank you for your kind message and for bringing the Bobby issue to us.
when we did our Bobby test it was carried out on the Yousearched lay out and
accessibility design and not the content within the Yousearched. Yousearched
act as a search engine which contains millions of other websites which
unfortunatly are not all accessibility friendly,
unfortunatly that gives a wrong reading on Bobby. sadly only 18% of the
World websites are accessibility friendly, lets hope this number will
increase."
I suspect that the person manning the email desk may not be a
developer, as the home page does not appear to carry external content. This
only appears to be the case after a search is made. So I mentioned this and
received the following:-
"I quite understand your advice with regard to Bobby and will act
accordinally, once again I thank you for your valuable suggestion."
It's great to find a receptive team and more power to them in the
future!
Léonie.
