Yardbird, I went to the web page and here is a page that I got when I clicked
on the "contact us" link.
on this page is a link for "feedback" which tells you the forum where you can
post your questions. I have not spent any time here but was just curious
because of your post. I did not find the page mushy to navigate around. To
dind things though, like the contact us link, I used the jaws find function to
help facilitate finding text on the screen.
good luck.

Subject: Craig's List graphical password
Craig's List, the international online community based in San Francisco, has
recently added a new and unwelcome quirk, as I just now discovered. If you
wish to post an ad in any of the classified categories, which I do, you now
have to create an account for yourself. And a feature of that procedure,
and probably when logging onto the site thereafter, is typing in a password
that-- you guessed it-- seems to be presented graphically. Worse than that,
actually. If you click on a "what's this" link to learn more, or maybe to
get to the displayed password, you wind up on what to jaws looks like a
completely blank page.
Remembering that I once contacted them for help with another site navigation
issue a long time ago by an email address they provided, I went to the Help
page to look for that contact address. But I couldn't find any such thing,
this time, just a FAQ page (which didn't mention account setup at all, never
mind blind issues), and there's also a link for what CL calls the Help Desk,
which from what I can make out (Jaws navigates it as if it's moving through
mud, so it's hard to figure out) is some kind of online forum with questions
and discussion. I couldn't figure out how to find anything there for my
problem.
Has anyone else encountered this same hassle on Craig's List? Any
suggestions? I'm really disappointed to find Craig's List so out of it in
regard to this sort of thing, considering their very community-minded ethos.
They provided one of the most effective online networks the past couple of
weeks for arranging assistance and financial contributions for the victims
of Hurricane Katrina; you'd think, etc.
thanks.
