I don't know if there is some kind of script ning could run to see if someone is using a screen reader, and if so, could they generate a different admin interface? That way, those who don't need any changes could keep using the service as normal. But then blind users could check or uncheck items in a feature list. Then, depending on the feature, maybe ning could auto place the feature in a good spot, so that the users network still remains organizedd. I don't know if this would work. Just an idea. I just know that I would like to be able to manage my network 100% independently.

Claude Almansi on 04 Sep 10Can this be done? If Ning can do it reasonably glitchlessly, I'll forgive them all the silly "Giand Swiss Knife" gimmicks like leaderboard....

" * Posted by Justin Harris on September 4, 2010 at 12:20pm in Bugs and Issues Hello, I am a blind network creator and have noticed a few problems with ning accessibility. For the most part, the platform is quite accessible. But here's what I've found. 1. The area where you can add or take away features in your network is not accessible because of the drag and drop. While drag and drop can be done in some instances, it is very dificult, and at other times, it doesn't work at all. I always have to have someone help me with it. 2. I can't get ning chat to work. I've even tried third party solutions, but they use flash, which is not very blind friendly. I don't know if anything can be done about either of these problems, but I really hope so. I still want a site that looks good, but at the same time, accessibility in those areas would be nice.
