I would like to bring up this topic, for ever since I joined this community, I've noticed quite a bit of inconsistency with the way the site works. I don't think it's just because I use a screen reader to interact with either. I've noticed that when editing values on character sheets, sometimes they are extremely accessible, in other words, all elements are read properly. Other times, the experience in Chrome on windows 10 is less than steller (same with Firefox, both at their latest versions.) I'll go to expand a combobox (I can get to them, but I can't always expand them (screen readers require a concept called forms mode, wherein you have to activate a keystroke first in order for the control to be manipulated)), and sometimes Chrome will just freeze, and I have no choice but to close out the entire process and log back in. Other things i've noticed; many of the elements on the page are not actually seemingly clickable links. They obviously are interactive, considering I can at times get them to bring forth their edit fields, but more often, I can't. Something needs to be done about that; especially filling out the accessible label on the control so that any screen reader will see it for what it is. This experience makes trying to manage characters very difficult during play, and oftentimes, maneuvers take like ten or so minutes longer than they should since somebody has to cover my butt before we can move on and click around the page for me. (we often times end up resorting to a scribe in my case.) I'm also going to try and get some other takes from members of the group who have more programming experience than I, so we'll see what happens, but if you need more info, do let me know. Thanks.
