    Hello good morning for everyone. I don't know if this is the most appropriate thread but I think so. I am currently experiencing two problems. The first one is that of purchases in the bazaars. Use Jaws but I already tried NVDA and with both screen readers, it is impossible to buy anything in a bazaar. I can buy only objects that sell in the items market, not in the bazaars. This is a problem because they are usually more expensive objects and because if you need to buy more than one thing, (for example, 100 simple viruses) you have to do one by one what can be quite late, tedious and annoying. The other problem I have, I don't know if it is because of accessibility. I am the leader of a faction and recently some new players have joined. I have tried to send them a message pribiated with the Newsletter option but only a text field with the title appears. A field for the message of the message does not appear, so I can only send a message with title but with the body of the empty message. Use torn tools, so I don't know if any of both bugs can be caused by this extension. I do not know how to disable it temporarily to see if it is the problem of the script or the game in question and so far I have not removed it, because the only way I know to do this is uninstalling Torn Tools, then looking for the extension on the Internet and reinstalling it again. I really appreciate your support. Thank you for reading.

    Hi,

    I believe they are working on the issue with buying from bazaars. It does not work for me either using NVDA or Windows Narrator on any browser.

    Hopefully they will have a solution soon, until then we are sadly limited to buying straight from the item market.

    The sending mail issue is tricky, but it can be done.

    I've heard from others that they have the most success when using Fire Fox to send mail.

    Personally, I use Microsoft Edge/Chrome.

    Here is how I do it:

    After entering the subject line, tab twice and switch to focus mode.

    You'll be in the text field to enter the body of the mail.

    After you finish the body of the mail, tab again to get to the send button.

    Torn Tools should not have an effect on these particular issues. At least, it does not fore me, and I've not heard anyone else mentioning it.

    Even so, it would be a good idea to know how to disable Torn Tools in the future just in case.

    Depending on your browser/OS, you should be able to pull up a menu while on a web page that has several options such as new tab, new window, save page etc.

    For me on pc, it is alt + f.

    In that menu, you should find 'extensions' as an option. Select it and a new tab should open with a list of your installed extensions.

    Browse through the list of installed extensions, find the one you want to disable and toggle between enable/disable using the enter key.

    Hope this helps :)
    Thanks you so mutch I hope those problems are solved soon. I also use Chrome and I have that same problem. Thanks for everything

    The new image gallery makes the images undetectable by screen readers.

    Previously, my browser would attempt to describe the image with something like "puppy laying on floor next to a ball' or 'woman in a blue dress standing next to a tree'

    This is different than the image descriptions written by players when they uploaded the images.

    For instance, 'puppy laying on the floor next to a ball' might have had the description 'my puppy, Ben'.

    Now all that is read out is 'blank, blank, blank'.

    Possible issue where the X to Quit your job doesn't show or read well on TalkBack for Android (Mobile)

    Can this be tested with both a company job and a city job?

    Original issue was with a Grocer (city job).

    Cheers!

    Checked this on PC using NVDA and Android using Talk Back.

    Currently working at player run company, pub.

    Quit button works fine for me.

    So, as per usual nothing mentioned in here about changes to chat system, And despite my many offers I do not get consulted about any changes which can impact on those with low vision. I just accept what I have to most of the time. Unless chat boxes and fonts can be changed at the user interface I have no idea how I will continue in faction and company chat. Maybe, its time to retire to SA.

    They are currently working to address issues with accessibility.

    I know your frustration first-hand. Hang in there.

    For anyone using a screen reader and unable to click the TORN logo and receive the rewards today, here's a script that makes it possible:

    TORN: Improved Accessibility (greasyfork.org)

    I know this may reach many of you too late but hopefully you'll get in a few clicks at least. :)

    Script thanks to DeKleineKobini

    Just wanted to share a tip I found while reading the forums.

    If you are using a screen reader + keyboard and are not able to purchase from bazaars, there is a way.

    Right click on the item you wish to purchase, escape out of the 'right click'. This will cause the info and buy buttons to appear for the screen reader.

    Just follow the prompts after that of course.

    Is this an accessibility issue, such as you are having trouble navigating the interface due to visual impairment?

    If it is due to accessibility, try [Userscript+PDA] Better Chat | Tools & Userscripts | TORN.

    The script makes chat 2.0 useable for blind users along with several other nice features for all users.

    Sounds like you are having general issues with the chats just not showing up at all for you on PC.

    In that case, this is the wrong thread.

    You might try creating a bug report or posting on an already opened report, with others having the same issue.

    I have the Torn app on IOS and today I cant get access, it just goes to a setting page where I can turn on/off notifications, settings and either Report Bug or Clear Cache. Below that are Return to Torn or Logout, of which only the Logout button does anything.
    When I log out and come back in I get a Torns First Official App has Finally Arrived page, press continue and go straight back to the settings page and can go no further.

    When buying points from the points market, the buy button used to be read out as 'buy'.

    Now it just says 'button'.

    Could be confusing for anyone who has never used the system before.

    I can not access the Craps game in the Casino tab. I'm on a fairly late milodel Samsung Android phone. Everything else works. ( except my text edit button, if there are typos)
    It is needed for a Duke Mission I need to complete within 2 days now. Field Day. This will be myvfirst Mussion failure.
    The craps card is stuck in off.
    The card itself will not up-scroll,
    so some is out of view.
    Nothing punched on any of it works.
    The box to enter a bet will not take one.

    I tried many things including copy/ paste to enter bet. Even going into my system to hunt the problem.
    Even taking off the recently updated Chrome.Google just showed thecaame way.
    A helper on here offered his different browser link, as well
    . That failed too.. Then he suggested I post it here.
    Maybe this is a new bug?

    Would it be possible to have online/offline status read out in areas where the icon appears for players?

     

    Currently, the only indication available to screen readers for this is by checking the last action on profiles.
