    Description

      Permalink feature not accessible to screen readers

      Applies to: WCAG 2.0 A 1.3.3 “Sensory characteristics”, A 1.4.1 “use of color”

      Description: Color is used to identify the permalinked post/reply upon activation of the permalink button. The URL generated for the permalinked post does not automatically receive focus, and it is unclear to a screen reader user an action has occurred.

      Steps to replicate:

      1. Open a forum
      2. Enable JAWS or NVDA
      3. Activate the permalink control for a post/reply

      Note that JAWS/NVDA has no announcement that a post has been permalinked. No announcement of the permalink URL is provided, and it is unclear to a screen reader that an event has occurred.
