[Blindtlk] Question about Bookshare on the Apex plus another general websites question

[Vejas Vasiliauskas]

Hi Sami,
I think scripting needs to be disabled for Bookshare.
My suggesttion would be to either use an I-Phone paired with the Braillenote or a computer, or alternatively email support at bookshare.org. When I went to LCB, I wasn't sure what to mark, so I emailed them and they updated my details.
I have noticed "the page cannot be displayed" on my Apex too. I think that this just has to do with the fact that the Apex browser remains the same while most sites and devices are constantly being updated.

I therefore tried to do that today, using my Apex, but I ran into a few problems right away.  When I first logged on to the site, I was able to enter my email address and password, but when I tried to submit my entry, all it displayed was something like "Character edchfor" and then some numbers that I don't remember (also least that's how it appeared on the Braille display).  The next time I went onto the site, I enabled the scripting setting on the Apex, because for some reason I figured that maybe that might have been the problem.  The problem with that was, it was taking a really long time for the Bookshare website to load, which I noticed unfortunately tends to happen frequently when that setting is turned on.  I really need to renew my Bookshare membership, because, I not only use it for leisurely reading, but I'm also taking an English class in college where we're required to read different books every week.

I've noticed for a while that some websites that I visit frequently seem to be down, because I always get the dreaded error message: "The page cannot be displayed", when I know for a fact that they're not down because I can access them on other devices as well as asking some people if they work for them.  Recently I tried doing a factory settings reset (space with dots 456), but that doesn't seem to solve the problem at all.  I also even tried changing the web browser profile once before which also didn't work.  What could I do to solve this issue?
