Hello listers I wonder what is really wrong with these websites? They try fixing things that aren't broken and end up messing it all up. Last month there was a discussion on AI regarding the lack of accessible sites to check and book flight tickets in the context of the inaccessibility of the revamped cleartrip site. Unfortunate to note that nothing has changed there. In fact, the list of obnoxious sites are only going up. The latest to join is Yahoo. Yahoo's groups services used to be used by many screen reader users. But with the recent revamp, it has become inaccessible in significant ways. It is difficult to move around easily on the list home page for an ordinary user. If you are a moderator, then your life is cooked. Can't really do any of the important tasks with Jaws or NVDA as many of the links just appear as plain text that is not clickable. Yahoo as always, doesn't really care. The recent revamp of googlegroups had made life difficult there, what can we do? Is there any provision whereby we can take these people to the CCPD or any such authority? What could be an accessible group alternative for us? Just feeling incredibly frustrated.......
