[blindlaw] LinkedIn Has Been Made Inaccessible To The Blind

Peter,

Thanks.  Even if this is only testing new users, it still seems wrong.  I 
have been on LinkedIn for more than five years, but have not logged in for a 
few months.

Are they breaking the law by presenting this test in this manner?  Some 
workarounds could be to repeat the audible version of the test so that we 
could get past the conflict with screen readers speaking at the same time. 
Some sites that present these audible tests as an alternative to the written 
version make the audio version so poorly that it is not understandable 
anyhow.


Thanks,
Tom
