Request for Testing of Another Website

[jazzyjj]

Hi everyone. Several years ago I posted here requesting assistance with some websites. Now I'm back to do the same thing. About 2 months ago I received an email on a list to which I am subscribed, regarding a website that was being launched about Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act. They wanted people to sign up for their newsletter, but as I recently found out there is a problem. Actually 2 problems on the site, but I'll get to the other one in a bit. The newsletter sign-up form uses CloudFlare, which I believe Dreamwidth used at one point for security purposes or something like that. I might open a support ticket regarding this, but thought I'd ask here first. I've only encountered CloudFlare a little bit, but each time I attempted to fill in that form a box popped up prompting me to verify myself. I tried dismissing this pop-up to no avail. The verification checkbox is a good alternative imho, but it seems this one has been incorrectly implemented. The other problem on that website is with the forum registration. There is evidently some kind of CAPTCHA on the registration form, which was hopefully meant to be accessible for screen reader users such as myself. But there's some kind of site owner error. I attempted to contact them via their contact form, but again was met with that CloudFlare pop-up. I'm wondering if any of you who don't use screen readers could check out the website and see what happens. Oddly enough, it seems a couple of forum posts were made there, which to me seems impossible given that there is a forum registration. The website in question is http://www.title2.info , and I was able to read a few news articles on there but nothing else.

I just signed up for the newsletter without difficulty--it asked me to check a box to tell cloudflare that I'm human, but didn't do stupid "click all the boxes with bicycles" captcha stuff.

I am a sighted user, and I did this in Firefox.

I had to click a box but that was all (Firefox). However, I have recently had problems with Cloudflare sites going into a permanent loop - I would click the verification box but it wouldn't verify. This lasted for two weeks and seemed to be a problem with uBlock Origin, because if I turned that off, it worked. If you use uBlock Origin it might be worth checking it's up to date?

No problem with getting into the newsletter sign-up (though I didn't actually try to sign up). The CAPTCHA on the forum registration form shows an error message that reads "ERROR for site owner: Invalid key type".

Using Firefox on Linux Mint.

I was able to access the signup page. I'm sighted and used Firefox with uBlock Origin on Linux, and I was prompted to unblock challenges.cloudflare.com and then click a box verifying that I'm human. After I did that, it let me through.

Thanks for your quick responses. I don't have Firefox, but I have Google Chrome on my MacBook. So I went back to the site and was able to sign up for their newsletter without verifying anything. But the forum registration still didn't work, so I think it's definitely broken.

I'm glad folks have been able to contribute, and I just have to vent that a site about the ADA should be maximally easy to use.
