I haven't intervened in this so far. More ill
mannered and abusive posts of this sort from you or from any or your cohorts
will result in you or your cohorts being immediately placed on moderated status
if not removed completely. The arrogance and complete disregard of list
rules concerning civility will not be tolerated. Who do you and your
friends think you are to fill this list with the kind of attacks you have been
indulging in. As far as I'm concerned, such attacks leave all of you with
no credibility regarding whatever problems have been occurring on the Skipe
list.

Firstly, that's no way to behave.

If you've written something which you think would be of interest to the NVDA community, maybe state what it's about a little more in the message, and either link to a regular web page with the full text or if it can survive plain text, just include it

Hi all users.
I am having some serious concerns about groups on skype.
I know we are not able to control what goes on outside this forum, however, while I like unmoderated groups from time to time on loose topics etc, I do see times when a moderator was needed.
Yesterday some users had issue with another user.
How he came accross and said user saying sapi4 didn't work on windows 10 which it does, saying that I was unsure never have used it in 10 myself.
I do know old sapi5 ms voices can cause dammage, etc.
Said user was removed without a chance to defend his actions.
Then both groups had their join features disabled.
It also appears with skype groups in general that everyone can add remove, disable, hide unhide everything and everyone and the only protection is to ask not to.
Clearly skype groups are not secure.
Once someone has a dissaggreement it can turn ugly quite fast.
I have seen random strings, and other junk posted on some of these and offtopic chatter which I was happy to take part in.
I am no longer associated with both groups involved though.
A few days ago there was a descussion on what group or list was a good mediam for nvda.
A forum and a email list came up.
From what I saw yesterday, an email list and forum can be moderated and not everyone has admin power.
Yesterday it demonstrated how unready we as a community or at least some of us are ready for that power.
Because of this to those in the groups effected I am not coming back.
You didn't give joseph lee a chance to defend himself and I do the same now.
You have driven me away from what I thought would be a good group, and have shown me skype groups are not the best medium for descussion at all especially if they can not be moderated or secured.
There are a lot more things I want to say but I have said my bit.
I also know by putting this I am probably making enemies here may even be cutting my path out of the groups involved, but I have no choice really.
I know we as a community are better than this.

Re: FW: Notes on NVDA and PowerPoint
Pranav Lal
Hi Cearbhall, I usually edit tables in Word or Excel and then get them into Powerpoint. If I must edit them in PowerPoint, I then use word by word navigation with the ctrl+left and right arrow and line by line navigation to move around in the table. The only way I know of is to be familiar with the content of the table so that you know what you are editing. I wish there was a better answer. Pranav

Hi all, In terms of table navigation and editing: 1. I can read tables in slide show mode. 2. When in object navigation mode, reading of a table or editing a table is difficult because column seperators are not spoken. This used to happen even with Jaws version 16 I think. 3. I am on PowerPoint 2016 and whatever has been discussed so far is applicable to that version. 4. The tab and shift+tab are standard keystrokes. The same applies to f6 and shift+f6. Pranav Has anyone had luck navigating tables in powerpoint? Table navigation does not work for me in powerpoint. I have to resort to using tab to step through every cell.

Well, when I do it I use my currently registered card which comes up with

My guess is that for some reason one of the fields is not being filled in
correctly, and since its probably hidden by the time you get to see the
screen, its hard to figure it out. Normally certificate mismatches or
scripts that the anti virus does not like have error messages one can hear
so know where to start to look for the issue. To me nothing has change in
recent months apart from some combo boxes being easier to use and
predictable.
Its very hard from this end to diagnose what might be going on here.
I am also sure that the local area where you are has a telephone number,
most do, I rang through and got a very nice Irish lady a year or so back
when it kept rejecting my card details, and it turned out to be a fault in
their system and was fixed almost immediately.

It might be something really daft like the currency is not allowed to be

until after I've filled in the amount I want to send and type in a brief
message. Next thing I tab to is a link saying please choose a payment
method. It used to bring up a screen with the choices of my bank account

makes a familiar click and I'm right back with the amount reset to zero
and my message to my friend deleted out. I just tried this several
times this morning, and the behavior is totally circular--that is it's
just stuck in an endless loop and I never get to chose a payment method

Then we have to get into making sure you have a valid payment method

When something goes wrong, paypal has gotten decent at letting you

tells you if there are errors. If you see one of those it would be

Further, your feedback means nothing to me because I've seen how you are and you gripe about everything, so, constructive feedback you do not provide. You are a negative person and I have seen this before in you.
Joseph lee was removed because he used the group to promote his own means, and not that of NVDA. I have personally had a problem with everything he has done since he has entered the group. It is an accumulation of things and not just the sapi4 thing. Which, to me, I see that as a blatant lie. I cannot abide lies and misinformation in a group that is supposed to give correct information and help those in need. Now, this could have been an honest mistake, but again, I don't see it as such. Me and another admin contacted Mr. Lee privately and he refused to discuss these issues with us.
Without going further into things, because I feel all of us have the right to our privacy, and I will not breach that for any reason, let's just say I think the group is better off without him. He has a serious lack of communication skills and has hurt the group with this, and his self-centered attitude. I feel NVDA is about community and Mr. Lee is about individuality.
I am appreciative of his good works in code contributions to NVDA and will remain so. I will never say he does not write good code. I do feel, however, that he lacks the skills to manage people and run a group or community.
So, in summation, I felt his attitude to be a blight on the support group, and I removed said blight. The majority of people have expressed either gratitude or their ascent to the group as a whole since his removal. This will be the last time I will mention this matter, and I am genuinely sorry if this message causes any distress among any of you. I do not enjoy starting drama or any of the nonsense that goes along with it.
Thanks and I hope next time I post, it will be a bit more lighthearted.

Once someone has a dissaggreement it can turn ugly quite fast.
I have seen random strings, and other junk posted on some of these and offtopic chatter which I was happy to take part in.
I am no longer associated with both groups involved though.
A few days ago there was a descussion on what group or list was a good mediam for nvda.
A forum and a email list came up.
From what I saw yesterday, an email list and forum can be moderated and not everyone has admin power.
Yesterday it demonstrated how unready we as a community or at least some of us are ready for that power.
Because of this to those in the groups effected I am not coming back.
You didn't give joseph lee a chance to defend himself and I do the same now.
You have driven me away from what I thought would be a good group, and have shown me skype groups are not the best medium for descussion at all especially if they can not be moderated or secured.
There are a lot more things I want to say but I have said my bit.
I also know by putting this I am probably making enemies here may even be cutting my path out of the groups involved, but I have no choice really.
I know we as a community are better than this.

Hi,
When I run Windows Defender, the scanning options are accessible using the

Please, any idea why?

I can't even say that I agree with that assertion anymore. There are, as Roger Stewart observed, just too many variables outside the control of the developers "out there in the wild" that it is impossible to take into account every possible eventuality. Things people overlook are things like cache corruption, add-on conflicts, that they're using a browser or browser version that's long been unsupported, they've got security suites installed that are taking a "maximum lockdown" approach, etc. I've virtually never failed to get a site to work on any browser when it's working on a bunch of others if I'm willing to put in the time and effort to figure out what element it is that's causing the snafu. I will admit that I seldom do that, as this situation is infrequent and if I can't get something to work on Firefox or Chrome I just punt to IE11 or Edge for that site. My health insurance with Anthem Blue Cross falls under that category. If I want to be able to freely access all the site features I have to use either IE11 or Edge, both of which are completely free of any add-ons, toolbars, etc.

Well, it's best to have more then one browser on your system. I do. My online banking does not work with IE. Neither does paypal. I use firefox for those things.

Hi!
Interesting that you have so much trouble with Firefox, both for using PayPal and for authorizing Twitter clients! I made a payment with PayPal last week using Firefox 47.0 and had no problems at all. I had to re-authorise TWBlue relatively recently, also using Firefox, I forget which version, and that worked fine too. Firefox is my default browser, and I have never yet had to change the default to IE to do anything. Either I'm lucky not to have problems with Firefox while others do, or there must be some reason why this is happening to you and not to the rest of us, which I can't guess. Hopefully somebody can!
Bye for now!

I just tried using PayPal with Internet Explorer 11 and it worked!
Don't know if something was changed in Firefox or if PayPal has just added itself to an ever increasing number of web sites that just don't work correctly with Firefox. These sites are usually ones dealing with money--either sending, donating, or buying something online. Also I've noticed that none of the Twitter clients like TW Blue or Chicken Nugget can be authorized with Twitter unless I set my default browser to IE.
So for now, I'll just use IE when doing anything with PayPal and hope it keeps working as it should.

Gene is correct; every internet user should have at least two browsers
on their machine, and know how to use both at a basic level. Issues
between specific websites and individual web browsers have been on the
rise for years. Since you will never avoid it entirely, knowing how to
use two or more web browsers is often the difference between success or
failure, and that's whether you're blind or not.
I've got four: Firefox (primary), Chrome (very close secondary), Edge
(distant third), IE11 (fourth, not far behind Edge).
If you use add-ons or extensions that are ad blockers or privacy focused
like HTTPS Everywhere, Ghostery, No Script, or the like it's really
important to have one browser that does not have any of these
installed. There are times when it's an add-on or extension that is
causing issues, and unless you know how to start your favored browser
with add-ons/extensions disabled or want to try disabling these
one-by-one, having a "naked" browser is a really easy way to avoid
getting stuck when you have no time to be stuck.
