Re: [SUSPECT URL!][nvda] how to stop google notification
Gene
If you get it after downloading something from Send
Space, then you have probably contracted ad ware from being a free user and
downloading from Send Space with scripts enabled.
You should never download anything from Send Space as a
free user with JAVA scripts enabled and if you use Internet Explorer, Active X
controls should be disabled as well.
Send Space has a long and bad record of having hacked
advertising on their site that, when you download files places unwanted programs
on the machine or actual malware. The site itself is clean but they are
much more likely to have hacked third party advertising than other reputable
sites.
If you are a paid user, you
don't have to worry. Advertising isn't displayed. If you take the
precautions I've discussed as a free user, you don't have to worry. No
advertising is displayed.
Note that I am not saying that
all files you download from Send Space are safe. That's a different
question. But if you trust the sender, then the file will remain safe if
it was safe when the person uploaded it to the site.

Re: rude braille

Hello,
After reading your further messages, perhaps turning off Braille messages by setting the timeout to zero in the NVDA Braille settings panel will give you the results you want.

If nvda braille had the same filtering capability as nvda sreech I would be a happy skyper. using regular expressions I could make my braille skype output much better. I could filter out the repetitious junk.

Re: How to configure Switch Synth?
Hi Diana, Is this addon enabled and loaded successfully? If so. After pressing NVDA+Ctrl+Shift+3 if the slot is empty ,you will hear three. Then you can config a preferd setting.Press NVDA+Ctrl+Shift+V ,you will hear "Saved".Repeat this procedure on other slots then synth setting will be switched to corresponding slot after press certain hotkey.

Re: notification adds

Kind of makes you wonder who it is that would allow them in the first place are there advert junkies out there?
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
One issue I've noticed recently is a change to Google. The search results are prefixed by some kind of organisation link, but it seems very time consuming and the default keeps on putting graphic and video results first. Also some crafty person has managed to circumvent ad blockers by having the link which used to go straight to the page go to a landing page crammed with adverts, in my case for no good reason all about drug stores! Finding the link you need to carry on to the actual site is often very difficult indeed. Has anyone else encountered this. Is it time to ditch Google in favour of some other search engine?

This only happens on specific templates for the site. I know for a fact that there are no tables on the page as I made the site. This is a new problem, that I only noticed yesterday. The only thing I can think of is NVDA is picking up the images that are used to visually delineate between columns and is recognizing them as “tables”. I would really appreciate it if someone, or several someone’s could confirm this? I’m hesitant to alter anything at the moment, as if it’s just me, I’ll deal with it 😊. Thanks so much, Rayn

It really needs to be far more obvious and basic in design aas to get to the new content you clicked on its a bit of a hunting job.

I can then tab through the menu items. If I hit enter on one and nothing happens that indicates to me that it's another hover over, and I INS+Num Pad Slash to get its submenu to appear then tab through it. If a link activates successfully with Enter or Spacebar then it's a normal link. If it just sits there its a hover over link (at least so far), and I'm able to force the hover over to activate by doing a virtual left click, which does nothing but give mouse focus where it should be so that the submenu appears, as the actual click on these links when you're actually using a mouse does nothing. It's the progressive movement of the mouse hovering over the various hover over links until you get to a "real" link that makes all this show up "the sighted way."
