Hello,
Shaun, thanks for the info.
What is the link to this accessibility form? I've never seen it and I
am a Yahoo customer.
So if we just call this number they will set things up. Or is it
necessary to fillout the form and they reply then we call them back.

Actually I just called them with the number they gave me less than
12 hours of filling out their online accessible form and the guy set
me up and flagged my account as being visually impaired and now I
don't have to worry about the verification process on any of Yahoo's
properties. The number is 866-458-8701

Perhaps yahoo is accessible if you ever manage to set up an
account, though I don't think yahoo's solution to the captcha issue
works very well. They should consider implementing an audio system
like google's which lets the blind user create an account totally
indipendently.

Sorry you are right. They have a Mac client and yes you have to
leave a number and e-mail address for a rep. to contact you. I
didn't know they were horrible in getting back with their
customers. See http://messenger.yahoo.com/mac.php

Well, it doesn't, really:
1) Are we talking about a Mac Yahoo IM client, the Yahoo Web
page, or what? And
2) Exactly how does Yahoo help the blind with account
verification? If their "help" is what it's been the past several
years (Leave a phone number and maybe someone will call you back,
someday, if you're in the U.S. and plant your mandrakes during a
full moon), that isn't much help. If, on the other hand, they've
actually implemented a reasonable system, or even a halfway
reasonable system (which would be an audible CAPTCHA), that
actually would be helpful.
