Re: 'private button' on reply forms on list
Supanut, This button is the replacement for the former "Send to Sender" button. Most other venues use the term "Private Message" or "Direct Message" to respond "off-list" to the person who posted a given message rather than replying to the group. After many long discussions in the Beta group for groups.io the use of a Private button, physically distant on the screen from the "Reply to Group" and "Discard" buttons, was chosen as the way to go. I also use the web interface far more frequently than e-mail (which I generally only use if I'm doing testing). I worry a lot. . . I worry that no matter how cynical you become it's never enough to keep up. ~ Trudy, in Jane Wagner's "Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe"

Re: the new nod32 9.0?
Gene
it takes a lot of continued work and resources to
create such a program and have it be properly effective. Why should blind
programmers recreate the wheel. Many programs, while they may not be fully
accessible, are useable. it's unfortunate that as programs come out with
new versions, those that are accessible often become less or inaccessible but
while that is occurring, some are becoming more accessible, at times because the
developers are working on accessibility for the program. I would much much
rather have a commercial program that I can see reviewed, which is made by a
corporation who does it for their business, then have some amateur programmers
make their own program.
And to add weight to my argument, one such
program, I believe its open source, is clam. It is poorly reviewed and I
wouldn't use it.

I guess I know the answer to my question. But! I will ask it anyway. There are a number of blind programmers/developers out and about. Why have they not been able to create a blind friendly anti-virus program? If it is a money issue? Why not seek funds from groups who will donate to worthy projects? Why don't blind developer/programmers offer their expertise and knowledge to the anti-virus developers? I know that they are not good. But, I've seen some open source anti-virus projects. So, it is possible to try and work on an anti-virus project without requiring too much funding! I do hope that at some point these issues will be dealt with so that this topic would not come up so often on this list! On 7/20/2016 12:38 AM, Supanut Leepaisomboon

Continuing Issues With Weather Add On
Ron Canazzi
Hi Group,
Just today, the weather add on for NVDA was updated again. In the what's new documentation, it says that 2 bugs were fixed. Obviously the one with respect to the incorrect barometric readings was not one of the bug fixes. I have mentioned in the past that these readings are consistently between .6 and .7 inches too low no matter what the weather is. In addition, I noticed one other thing. The add on always reports the barometric reading as steady. This is verifiable as not true because local weather reports as well as the Yahoo weather page say differently. I wish this could be fixed because other than that issue with the barometric readings, the add on works great. -- They Ask Me If I'm Happy; I say Yes. They ask: "How Happy are You?"

Its all down to training of programmers and the lack of forced accessibility in programming environments. It should be impossible to write code that is inaccessible for screen displays by now.

Incidentally does anyone know of an anti virus which is portable and at least reasonably secure?
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
The issue is that I have a pc which is well out of range of any fast internet connection, and connection via the mobile network costs a lot, so it would be really nice to be able to update a portable one say on the stick and take it to that site and run it over the machine. Many people plug in sticks who may or may not have viruses and I really need to keep it checked. Brian bglists@blueyonder.co.uk Sent via blueyonder.

Accessibility, even for an antivirus software which is critically needed for Windows users, is not being given a priority. Personally I don't use Nod32, so can't comment on my own experience of using it with NVDA. As a solution, as mentioned in this thread use either version 8 of Nod32 or use another av (though finding one that's accessible, and at the same time rated highly on lab tests and received positive reviews is going to be a pain).

They are happy to let jaws in, surely all they need to do is let other libraries for readers in or use standard controls but its not just antivirus, while we are a lot better, a lot of makers don't code for access or even know till they are told. Thing is with a lot of these, they are so protected by forms, capchas and the like some don't even have direct mail addresses that contacting is hard enough and the message may never reach its target anyway. Its why I have just given up on it now. I'd like it to change but hmmm. Its a pitty you couldn't get an antivirus based on 1 or several good engines with an accessible low power low false positive rate interface and let it wrip similar to having an accessible windows shell of whatever you want and just load a kernal under it its just not going to happen.

Hi, word docs with NVDA for me read lists (unordered and numbered) as simply “bullet xxxx”, “bullet xxxx”, or “1 xxxxx”, “2 xxxxx”. Are there any preferences to enable these lists to be read as “List with 5 items”, for example, rather than simply stating the character before the text. These are not pseudo lists, they have been created with Microsoft word’s styles. I also have report lists enabled in the documents settings. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.
