Which leads me to a possible bug when used with that IE program. I was browsing our uk Channel 5 listings and IE though it displays them, seems not to send them to nvda. You just get the main links and adverts. However, nvda on Firefox on the same page works.
The IE code is old and unmaintained at present, as we're focusing all of our efforts on Firefox. Once that is complete, we will consider reimplementing the IE support using the new framework we are currently developing for Firefox; see below.
Might I also make a suggestion that the list, this list, adds a bit to the welcome file explaining the posting address? 
I'm not sure I follow.
Erm, what else, ah yes. I assume that long web pages seeming to lock the system up for long periods is due to the time it takes to get the info to nvda, as most commercial readers seem to be faster in this respect.
The slowness in loading long pages is mostly due to NVDA taking a while to render the page into a virtual buffer. The new virtual buffer code we are developing will make Firefox with NVDA many times faster. This is not yet available for general testing, but should be ready for general testing in the next few weeks.
Incidentally, on the latest build on the site, it seems that their beeps on progress bars are more numerous and louder.
I don't think they are more numerous, but they probably have a different, more audible tone in the latest snapshots. (I can't remember when we introduced this change.) Btw, when reporting an issue, please always test with the latest snapshot. 0.5 is very outdated now and is now unmaintained. We will eventually make another stable release, but that won't be for a few months yet.
I'm still trying to figure out how the bug fixing features tracking works. Should I be able to find some easy to browse list of these?
You can use the "View tickets" link to query the system by specifying various criteria. Alternatively, you can just use the search feature and select only tickets if you're only interested in bugs/issues. I'll probably introduce some links at some point so you can view all open tickets, etc.
