I just looked at that.

Sadly audiogames.net needs a version of firefox over 55.x and some other sites, bandcamp, etc do not work right.

I looked into a user agent module for firefox but couldn't figure it out, so I went back to firefox 56, so I will have to well do whatever I can to handle with 57 or whenever updates come out for 57 I will have to simply not update firefox at all.

If that can be done easily well.

Also, if there are settings in about:config I can turn off then I do that.

What are site makers doing restricting themselves to certain versions of browsers. Sounds a bit like shooting yourself in the foot for no good reason to me.

All very nice but the browser issues are seriously annoying for many people and also no doubt for trainers and new screenreader users. It just shows how decisions made for no doubt laudible reasons can be seen as autocratic and completely stupid by a particular class of user, ie us.

I don't know I have had issues with audiogames.net and bandcamp so far.

So no, sadly also google pop seems down, and I really hate imap here, there is a lot of stuff in my well folder, still if thats the only way to get mail now thats what I will do I guess.

Sorry, I'm not sure what happened to the original link, it seems to have lost an all-important full stop in the URL.  Try this link: https://www.nvaccess.org/post/in-process-halloween-2017-edition/

As a bonus, I've updated the post to include some of the wonderful creations we received from the community for Halloween!

Kind regards

Hi Zahra,

Do you mean you aren't familiar with Halloween or did I write "[nvda] Halloween" somewhere?  If the latter, I'm not sure.

If you aren't familiar with Halloween, it's origins are debated (Christian, Celtic, Pagan), but essentially these days, it's a celebration of all things spooky and creepy (ghosts, ghouls, skeletons, witches), and particularly in Western countries, mostly a chance to decorate or dress up, and play with pumpkins.  America, particularly, seems to have embraced the tradition and celebration.  Kids like to dress up and knock on nearby houses door's and get given lollies - which does seem a bit odd given we spend the rest of the year telling them not to accept things from strangers :)  The common history, broadly, is that November 1 is "All saints day" in the Christian year, a celebration of every saint, known and unknown.  The eve of this either being the last chance for wandering souls to seek vengeance on earth before All Saint's Day, or the time when the barriers between worlds are down and ghostly spirits walk the land.

I'm sure plenty of others know more about the holiday than I do, but that's my "Halloween in a paragraph" explanation.  Actually if you want to read more, WIkipedia has more than I read on it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halloween

Kind regards

Quentin.
