you aren't the only one. I have tried to get hold of fred loud (the =3D
website owner) to explain the issues. His response went something along =
=3D the lines of: I will not change the website or the database. it is fine
= =3D just the way it is.

Apparently, he is either ignorant of our difficulties or simply does not =
=3D care. I have also chatted with the developers of Vbulletin. They have =
=3D made changes to their forum hosting web package so that it can be made =
=3D more accessible. All it requires is that the website owner check a few =
=3D configuration options to allow for accessibility. They were far more =3D
helpful than Mr. Lloyd seems to be.

Some of the issues I have encountered with QRZ.com:
1. call sign lookups have some controls that are not usable by screen = =3D
reader users (such as mouse over to reveal email, etc.) 2. scrolling past
the initial posting in a thread causes the browser to = =3D either lock, or
crash when using a screen reader (especially on a mac) 3. posting a new
thread is problematic as the edit area can't be =3D interacted with directly
(I have to compose in a text editor and then = =3D copy/paste into said
area).
There are a myriad of other issues (a lot dealing with the advertising = =3D
links), but are too bothersome to list.

thats my experience with QRZ.com.
