hi. i think it might be helpful if at the top of pages, there was a link called "skip to content" which takes you to the main information on the page. this saves time (especially for me) if you can skip all the people who are logged in. i think this feature would most benefit guest users who do not have the ability to hide the info at the top of pages.

Objection! We can use our navigation quick keys (h for heading, f for form control, l for list, n for next non-link text, etc) to accomplish the same thing.

Twkav, you took the words right out of my mouth. That's exactly what I do, and it works better than any "skip to content" link I've seen on other websites. Robbie, if you need to know about the navigation keys, feel free to ask some of us on here. We could help you. And I don't think JAWS is the only screen reader that uses those. If I'm not mistaken, WindowEyes and System Access do the same or similar things.

Tyeler also said exactly what I was going to, though probably a bit more bluntly. :)

not to mention, in your account settings you can hide the lists of users if i'm not mistaken?
