My wife and I are dog people (sick sick people but what are you gonna do). I was wondering if you had looked into guide dogs?

I have and I couldn't put myself through that. I know a lot of friends who went through losing a guide dog. I don't think I could replace my companion ever ten or so years.

Completely understandable. We go through that with our dogs also.

Have your other senses improved?

Do you use screen reading software to browse the web? If so, how does our forum fare?

Not really. I just have pay attention more. People are usually so used to seeing that they rarely pay very much attention to their other senses.

Yes, Jaws for PC and Voice Over for mobile. Other than navigating to the reply box, and repping it's about a 7.8 so fairly good.

If you can elaborate on the navigation / repping issues I might be able to improve that for you.

Basically I three finger swipe to the bottom my reader doesn't actually tell me when I'm there so I usually assume I am.while swiping the reader tries to read the entire page, and it's a real pain when searching. If there was a set up maybe a quick link to reply to each entry on thread, like the pm button but for the discussion part of the forum.
