[nabs-l] blackboard issues

[Ashley Bramlett]

Jewel,
But it depends on what you need to do with blackboard; I've heard many users 
report problems with the discussion board.
I'm trying to download files now. maybe its IE 9 and the file is in the 
notification bar; jaws did not say that though. But last time I used BB,  I 
was using IE 8 and as I clicked on the file a download dialogue box 
appeared.

Last year I also had issues using the discussion feature. not sure if that 
is accessible yet though.

I use JAWS with Blackboard without any problem, so there goes that theory.
