Re: [Merged] Technical Support via newsgroups is withdrawn.
 

I didn't say I had. it was just logical thinking and reasoning.

You don't have to be blind to comment.
I just thought you might know from when you said The forums are much easier to find and user for general internet users.

there's a blind user that has expressed his disappointment with having to use a forum where before he could use the text based groups.

he mentions DDA.

Re: [Merged] Technical Support via newsgroups is withdrawn.
 

He would have to complain about every single forum out there not just one.

Re: [Merged] Technical Support via newsgroups is withdrawn.
 

I think it affects him in the way that Virgin is his service. and the forum is part of that service.

just like their homepage and all subsequent pages are a service to him, and is subject to DDA because of customers with a disability.

Re: [Merged] Technical Support via newsgroups is withdrawn.
 

They are indeed. Doesn't mean though that he can't use them

The community forum is text based and has very few images -those that are have full ALT text. So even in a text browser it would still work.

Re: [Merged] Technical Support via newsgroups is withdrawn.
 

Yes they are.

Indeed I have no problems with that forum and can use it just as well as this one.

Re: [Merged] Technical Support via newsgroups is withdrawn.
 

Sadly one huge reason to be rid of the newsgroups, easier to moderate posts and ban idiots in a forum environment. People happily talked to technical support with no courtesy and a chronic sense of 'entitlement' - they being somehow better than every other customer because they are on the newsgroups.

Re: [Merged] Technical Support via newsgroups is withdrawn.
 

He says
Do you know if that is the case with DDA?

Re: [Merged] Technical Support via newsgroups is withdrawn.
 

If only that were true :D :p: :D

Re: [Merged] Technical Support via newsgroups is withdrawn.
 

I answered YOUR question - not his.

The question you asked was

'Are they blind / partially sighted user friendly?' - to which the reply was and still is yes they are.

As for the DDA I don't think it's worth the paper it's written on, but that is a discussion for another thread.

If you /really/ want to know a definitive answer I can certainly find out from the rnib for you although it will take couple of days.

Re: [Merged] Technical Support via newsgroups is withdrawn.
 

OK, so some idiots keep coming back :dunce:

It's all relative :p:

Re: [Merged] Technical Support via newsgroups is withdrawn.
 

I know. the other one was another different question.

I wouldn't mind knowing. if you could please.

Re: [Merged] Technical Support via newsgroups is withdrawn.
 

wow.. thats paranoia for you! hahahaha.. come on get real :p:

hahahaha :rofl: :)

Re: [Merged] Technical Support via newsgroups is withdrawn.
 

He would have very little to complain about as the text is as clear on there as on other forums and no complaint would be upheld as otherwise we would all be using text only browsers.
