time for me to report that again. The other issues I’ve reported throughout the beta have been addressed.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Recently NLS changed their website to provide additional search options. Most of the changes are improvements to the old version of the site. I am having issues adding books to my wish list. I am using JAWS, Firefox, and Windows 11. I want
to either add books from my reading history, or recently added books. I go through the correct steps for each option and JAWS speaks the confirmation that a book was added. If I look at my wish list in reverse chronological order, the book isn’t listed. I
am experiencing the same problem if I use BARD Express on my computer or the iOS app.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I don’t understand why there seems to be a lack of quality control at NLS. The new version of the BARD website is slow even though it displays less information when pages load. I like the expandable menus, but you would think displaying
less information would make a page load more quickly in a browser window. I also see a persistent error message on the previous history page even when interacting with the page is successful. I report issues to NLS and the standard response I get is that the
person responding to my e-mail notified the BARD supervisor. I don’t get any follow-up from NLS. I don’t understand what is happening. All their interfaces seem inconsistent. Among other things, BARD Express doesn’t always generate message when a use takes
an action. You would think that if you added a book to your wish list, the application would consistently display and cause the screenreader to speak a confirmation or error message.<o:p></o:p></p>
