Hi there;

We've had feedback from a user since we enabled the shoutbox saying that it makes the forums hard to read for visually impaired guests. The reader in question is JAWS. Has anyone else had this problem / is there a workaround?

Thanks for any help!

'eh several of us have made proposals for the shoutbox to be hidden from certain clients; such as IE7 (due to a shotty implimentation of Javascript... I'd add jaws (via whatever its useragent string was) to be blocked as well
