    I am 64, I live with my cat Meow....I have a long term medical condition, complicated about 5 years ago by ME. I have mobility problems, memory, speech and sight issues so one of the things that I find annoying and it was also on this website are the identification grids where you have to tick the boxes with the bus in...well I can’t see the bus and I can’t enlarge the image so it takes a while using the process of elimination!

    Sorry to hear you experienced some difficulties with the registration process, @Alex is this due to the websites software?

    It is a standard format for many websites to confirm your identity, I just think there should be an option for those with sight issues.

    It is not the writing it is the size of the image so I have not been able to enlarge it but I can get out my magnifier if I really cannot sort it out! And yes, I can make most texts larger

    I have central vision loss too, it took me a lot longer to do but managed it, I used to live near Ipswich, only ever went there to the cinema :)

    Ipswich is great, at the moment they have some huge loudspeakers high up on a building in the docks and they play women’s voices singing, not quite sure what it has to do with Remembrance but it is very eerie

    Hi @sallym, and a warm welcome to the community! Great to have you here! 

    Often when there's the identification grids with images, there are usually alternative options for visually impaired people, such as audio- possibly something that could be helpful in the future! However, if you think our sign-up process could be made more accessible, do feel free to drop us an email at community@scope.org.uk.

    Hope today's a good one!
