Hi Glen,
Firstly I wanted to thank FS for calling out access to the availability of Slack access with the latest JFW. I had been wanting this for a long time but hadn't tried it since a year or so back when it was unusable. Following the recent release note, I downloaded and am using the app with similar access to that of the browser, but with the benefits the app gives. Not sure if there is any way of giving us a list of apps FS are working on with JFW but I found that very useful when I read it in the release notes.
In terms of simulating web pages this is something I have been interested in for a while. I wanted to get better access to a project management tool (Trello) that we use in the company. I did email the UK distributor of JFW about this and gave them a long email about the experience I was having. They were unable to reproduce the issue, though to their credit they did set up an account and create a small board with a few cards. Our board has hundreds of cards on it in different stages and there is no way they could simulate that. I have managed to somewhat sort the issue by having very specific URLs I visit with search criteria that seriously limits the amount of cards the system returns, but the issue I am having (browser crashes and very slow responses) still exists to some extent. I am interested in finding a way we can somehow send info to the screen reader developers with our current browser state when we are experiencing issues, and this may even be of benefit to the browser developers as well. One obvious concern would be data privacy especially if interacting with a corporate system, but even having something available would be hugely beneficial.
Andrew.

Billy,
I'm interested in having a look to see if we can resolve this in JAWS but can't figure out how I can get access to the required equipment. Any ideas of how to simulate it ?

Hi Vick,
I am using Chrome and Waterfox with no success. I think it is real time updating and it is quite agrivating. It will simply just crash the browser if I try to navigate around.
Thanks,
Billy

I do know that Internet Explorer likes to lock up systems running screen readers these days. However it seems as if Firefox and Chrome are more forgiving. This is also true when pages have dynamic content.

Hi All,
I have an issue on multiple PC's where when I login to the Mikrotiks or UBNT equipment, it freezes the browser because the interface tables are dynamically updating and the screen readers can't seem to handle it. Do you have any suggestions besides doing this all in SSH?
Thanks,
Billy
