Subject: [jaws-uk] Out of Context - But Important Webvism
Hello,
My sincere apologies for posting on a topic that has nothing to do with
JAWS. But this is critical to all of the Blind Community and I thought it
must be shared. Please forgive me for the same and kindly read on.
This morning, when I launched Firefox, instead of the familiar "Alert, you
are logged on to Webvisum" welcome message, I got a server connection error.
So I visited a web page that contains an image captcha, but when I attempted
to submit it to Webvisum for decoding by pressing Alt-Control-numrow 6,
nothing happened. And the solve captcha option was not available on the
context menu either. I visited www.webvisum.com, and was dismayed by the
following message:
NOTICE: This domain name expired on 06/19/2012 and is pending renewal or
deletion.
This web page is parked FREE, courtesy of GoDaddy.com
I don't know much about Go Daddy, but I think it is a web hosting service.
From the message, it sounds like Webvisum's domain name expired yesterday,
and the Webvisum site is apparently gone. I certainly hope that this isn't
the case, and that this is just a temporary glitch. But what if Webvisum is
really gone for good?
Does anyone know what happened to Webvisum? And how we can connect with the
developers of this indispencible Firefox add on? This is critical for the
whole blind community, I hope we can get some inputs from all over the
world.
