    Hi @davegregson40 :) Thanks for sharing this. Is there any way you could summarise what the article says? It's not accessible for screenreaders, and I'm also struggling to read what it says as a sighted person.

    Hi,

    Thanks for sharing but i have no idea what it says because it's virtually impossible to read.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    I think this may be the article you're referring to?
