I know this is a bit late, but something Chris said got me thinking...I notice Winamp's forums are "powered by vBulletin". I've also noticed, for about six years now, the ANYTHING powered by vbulletin has the captcha code associated with sign-up. I've found three lists (two Opie and Anthony fan lists and the Orbitcast forums) who are willing to assist blind/visually impaired users in signing up. However, most of the vBulletin powered lists don't give an email address to contact the forum owner or an audio alternate to the captcha. So, what I'm wondering is, is this something each forum owner can set up on his/her own, or is this something whoever is in charge at vBulletin would have to set up for each forum?
The first time I ever ran into it was signing up for the message board at megadeth.com back in like July of 2001. Part of me thinks the Winamp guys would be willing to add an audio alternative, but it makes me think maybe vBulletin's software just isn't set up to handle such things, and that they need to be made aware of the problem and asked/nudged to fix it. --- Visit me on Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/wesderby Now, I actually remember to log in and check it!
