    There's a few things that have bugged me for a while now. Both are sorta related to accessibility(particularly for visually impaired people).


    First, I've noticed that images won't show up on the page, or at least not to a screen reader. Whether its because of the code used or something else, I'm not sure.(This only applies to images in posts, images in profiles or linked images seem to show up just fine...)
    The images can still be obtained from the page if the page is, say, exported to Microsoft OneNote, but the images are just 'untitled picture'; that's the only way I know of to get those 'invisible' images from the pages.(its not a speedy process either)
    So basicly its either export the whole page and hope for the best or ask for an image to be given as an attachment.


    The other issue I want to mention is related to login/account recovery.
    Captcha images. You know, those blurred or messed-up pictures?
    Due to the bug with Open SSL recently, I had to reset my passwords like many people--including my password here. After resetting it and accidentally forgetting it, I went to recover my password.
    Boom! Captcha image.
    Normally they wouldn't be a /huge/ problem, but they are seriously frustrating to somebody with little or no vision.


    The reason these things matter to me is because my eyesight is crap. I get tired of not being able to easily access images here and I'm EXTREMELY SICK of Captcha verification. So here's my suggestions:
    * See if there's anything that could be done to make images in posts more accessible, if possible.
    * Add audio Captchas if its not too much to ask... really. That or a different sort of test to see if you're a human. Again, if its possible.


    I'd appreciate any help on these that can be given. Thanks in advance. ^^
     
    First off, when you say "images" and "page," where are you speaking of? That would be helpful if you could give us a link to further investigate this problem. :3

    Also, what captcha are you seeing? Is it one generated by Cloudflare?
     
    Not really sure if this is what's causing the image issue, but if you've got image-viewing disabled on your browser while having PokéCommunity one of your exceptions, try enabling it for all websites and see if that helps. If it's already enabled, then I have no idea what else you could do; would suggest clearing cookies and cache, but have a feeling that it wouldn't do anything. :( As for Captcha, I don't really know if we have audio function added to it (been a while since I had to go through with that), but I second your suggestion if we don't; would be very convenient for those who don't have much of a good eyesight.
     
    There isn't really a way for us to enforce alt / title tags on user included images as that's just the nature of user-generated content, sorry.

    As for the captcha, it should have a audio thing already as we use re-captcha for the site.
