This morning, when I launched Firefox 3.6, 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? Are we blind users going to be forced to rely on sighted help from now on to solve image captchas? Or will we have to struggle with incomprehensible audio captchas that don't work most of the time? Does anyone know what happened to Webvisum? Thanks. Gerald For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
