Jeff: YahooGroups requires captias, & there is no audio option. WebVisum can solve these, but using firefox may be problematic for some. Believe this or not, my experience is that NVDA actually does a better job w/firefox than jaws. Don't know about W E. I have a creative writing group on googlegroups & I've had some members complain about not getting mail, etc., but I can't seem to find any reason for this & suspect their ISP (comcast) rather than GMail. The sign up process for googlegroups is quite straightforward, as it has an audio captia, but I prefer using webvisum for it instead. Webvisum requires an invitation from another user of the program, as they have been spammed for their captia-solving abilities, though I've heard that recently u can go to the home page & request an invitation code w/o an invite. I don't know if that's accurate. U don't have to have a gmail account to be in a google group, though you'll need 1 to use its web interface. I think it's pretty much the same w/yahoo as well. I can't say either google or yahoo groups support is great cuz it isn't. B4 WebVisum, Yahoo never got back to me regarding captias I couldn't solve, & googlegroups basically sends automated emails in response to queries. So, I guess we get what we pay for lol. Good luck w/it all. On 7/14/09, Tyler Littlefield <tyler@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:I like google and yahoo a lot better. I can also give you a mailman account on my host if that would help, too. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jeff Bishop To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, July 14, 2009 8:17 PM Subject: state of the list as I know it at this time ... Hello Everyone, OK, sit back and take a deep breath. As usual, Freelists support has been shall I say not very helpful.Apparently, all three accounts that I have moderated messages going to arenot working (one gmail, one personal domain and one university account). Also, Freelists support states that the messages can not be resent.For this reason, messages sent earlier today will not be seen by the listand for that I am very very sorry. So, here is what I have done.I have un-moderated the list for the time being. I will keep a very very close eye on things for the next while and if I see anyone going off topicand ranting or slamming others on the list you will be sent an email andasked to stop. If you refuse then you will be removed from the list and notallowed to post. I would also like to ask members of the list what they would think ofmoving the list away from Freelists to Googlegroups where I have had a lot better luck in list control and actually things working. What do all of youthink? Again, my most sincerest apologies.
