I've been told that the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI), however it is stick 'Stickied', with no further information available, so I, and at least one other visually impaired Torn user who has reached out to me, are looking for some clarity on this please;
I am a Beta tester for Torn Tools, so some of the developers there know I've got visual issues. Another user reached out to them asking for help as their issue is making it so that they can't completely use some of Torn's features, impacting them as they are fully screen reader dependant. The Torn Tools developers suggested they reach out to myself, and I said as I was going to post this, I'll include theirs and I've been talking to them.
I have also looked on said thread to see that they have posted there too;
Thank you for any help/updates on these issues!
Best Regards,

What I have posted seems like a possible simple fix, as it works without any problems elsewhere, so it seems like the information fetched from the database is processed differently causing problems for some screen readers such as the one I use, Windows built into the magnifier.
I'm not [background color=var(--bbc-body-bg-color)]in that area of Torn too often for it to be a huge impact.[/background]

Their main issue they are facing is that they are unable to purchase from bazaars and have said:
"New to Torn, 2 months, I have found that while many of the important functions of the game are accessible to me, there are a few which are not. Of the various issues are inability to use casino other than lotto, picking up items found in city, and inability to set my title so I am stuck with the default. Most of the issues I have found are either unimportant, like changing my title, or can be over-come by asking a sighted person to assist me from time to time, such as picking up items found in city. However, the one issue that I contacted TheFoxMan about is the inability to purchase items from player bazaars.
When I visit another players bazaar and click on an item I wish to purchase, my reader does not detect an edit box to enter the amount, nor does it detect the buy button. I have tried edge and chrome browser on pc as well as the torn app and chrome on android.
On the flip side, I have no issues managing my own bazaar, buying from item market, city shops, and abroad.
This issue is crippling as it forbids me from making purchases available to other players in Torn. TheFoxMan is trying to sort out a script that would make bazaars more accessible to me, but there is no guarantee that it will work. So I am writing to you in hopes that you can assist me in the process of finding a possible solution. I realize these things are rarely solvable in a short time, but it will likely never be resolved if I don't start trying to sort it out now :) Meanwhile I am paying $150k for truffles in item market when there are thousands available in bazaars for $89k, hahaha, yea it is a bummer for sure."
Thank you for any help/updates on these issues!
