Hi, Chrissy. For some weird reason that doesn't surprise me. It seems like they're making sites less and less accessible for the blind so at times I feel left out too. I just closed a yahoo account I had because every time I wanted to send an email from that address, they asked for a varification code that can't be read by any screen reader--not even with a jaws cursor or window-eyes mouse pointer.
