Hi, I have a low-frequency strobe sensitivity and a visual motion sensitivity. I often get severe migraines, partial blindness, and nausea when using the web and was trying to check on your accessibility standards to see if they permit some of the elements. Checking the instructions here: https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/#general-thresholddef Clicking on "How to meet 2.2.2" I was pain-directed to here: https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/quickref/?versions=2.0#qr-time-limits-pause A number of problems, from most severe to least: 1. The page quickly flashed as it animated scrolling to that guideline. I can't count flashes per second, so it's more than 3, probably more than 10. So it is likely to be a seizure trigger. 2. The page animated scrolling to that guideline. For me, animated scrolling is a major migraine trigger. 3. The left sidebar and the top bar do not scroll with the rest of the page. For me, the sheer effect from such broken scrolling is a minor but more frequent migraine trigger. If your standards permit this, they need revision. Marja Erwin
