[JAWS-Users] Desperate for Yahoogroups tutorial
Hello Friends, I have succeeded in setting up a yahoogroups list for our United States Braille Chess Association, because our Topica list no longer responds to any commands, and we have not been able to contact their support department after several months. Yes, it is set up , pesky captures and such, but it was with a great amount of assistance from others, and I need to learn how to manage it myself, and also the people I have assigned as moderators need to learn all about the different functions. Yahoogroups is not what I would call a JAWS friendly program. And I would compare it to learning Microsoft Word or Excel! Word and Excel are easier in my opinion! At least they have command keys, and menu bars! Can anyone please help me find a Tutorial for learning how to manage a yahoogroups list? We would even be willing to pay for it. Can anyone also give me Kathy, oh I forgot her last name, the lady that does the Special Access training, and produces tutorials email address so I can find out if she can assist us? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I have never found such an animal myself although I have tried. It is manageable but I agree not the easiest world to visit. Possibly if you came up with some specific questions there might be some help available on here.

Alan, I moderate a list that was moved from a private server using the Mailman software to yahoogroups. Yes, Yahoo's group pages are not the most user friendly, but it's more due to the layout of the pages rather than accessibility. Yahoo is all web based, so it's a matter of knowing your browser and your screen reader of choice, as well as a bit of memorization when it comes to negotiating some of the pages specific to mods. They just added an audio code that allows anyone with the proper mod privileges to add members without going through the captcha or invite process, so that part is at least accessible. What version of JAWS and what browser are you using? I might be able to help if you have specific questions. If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.
