Hi Gary,
Thanks for your e-mail.
I am still on windowsXP home and IE8.
I can not upgrade as I don't have the funds to do so.
Moving on to that word called accessible, if a webpage is not able to be
navigated from top, to bottom with the arrow keys, and H for heading and T
for table and so on, with a screenreader, then it is not accessible to the
blind user.
I am talking about the yahoo mail and it's addressbook.
It doesn't matter what windows or browser people use, I have tried them all
with nvda and JAWS, it is not accessible a tall.
I have been using computers and JAWS and nvda for a very long time and not
only that, yahoo mail also and I am a power user.
Before the change over from the old classic mail to the new mail is know
longer accessible.
Lets say you have an HTML file open and the only way to navigate it is by
pressing tab to get around the page, that is know good because pressing the
tab key only takes you from link to link button to button and form feald to
form feald.
Bring back the old mail web pages, as they were more accessible.
Thanks.
Andrew

Andrew,
Thank you for contacting Yahoo! I'm an Accessibility Program Manager based
in Sunnyvale, CA. I'd like to get some additional details from you in order
to see if I can be helpful-if not, find someone who can address your issue.
Would you please send me the URL to which you are referring? I am assuming
you are referring to "Sign In" on the Home Page. It also would be helpful to
know a bit about your system/configuration (e.g. OS version). It would also
be good know what other screen readers you've used.

Hello,
When signing in to yahoo with nvda or any screenreader, the button or link
that says Keep me signed in does not work.
How do I get around it,to make it work?
Also once I am signed in, it is very hard to get signed out for a blind
user.
Andrew
