Hello,

It took me a very, very long time to find the link for creating this thread. I have discovered that the only place where a blind user who is using a screen reader can get to the link for creating a forum topic is the page where you are looking at a single post. The help says it is on any page that lists messages. It is definitely not there for a screen reader user! It must have taken me an hour to find the link to post.

Please, could someone do something to fix this?

Thank you.

Does it differ depending on which browser you were using? I can see the alt text value present both in the page for the forum itself as well as an individual thread, and it seems navigable to using the keyboard in Chrome.
