Ashley:

When you call, you'll get a recording. State your problem and someone there
will get back to you. Curtis no longer works there. Tony Olivero works there
and comes to mind but not sure this is his specialty. Why not also call JAWS
Tech Support if you're using JAWS? Or look thru the FS knowledge base?

Mike,
Good idea. Who would I contact there? Curtis Chong? I have jaws 12, but 
still issues and I could not use the discussion board and this is 
problematic for my online class as well.
I just found out one of our last assignments entails commenting on other 
students comments on the discussion board.
Yikes.
So not only do I need to post, but I need to read comments too!

Have you called the IBTC to see if there's a way around your difficulties?
