A few of the images on this page (notably the "discussion" link) have ALT properties that do not match the text on the image itself. This creates problems for people using special accessibility software -- in particular I'm beginning to use voice recognition software and have to say "Give us feedback" in order to get to the discussion page (because that is the ALT text for that link).

Is there any chance we could just use the word "discussions" as the ALT text for that picture, and so one for the other images-as-links on the site? I'm pretty sure that is what the property was created for any way -- well more for users with text browsers than accessibility issues, but same idea.

I don't see any problem with changing.

Done. Alt texts are now identical to the word printed underneath the image (except for "Interact" that is "Chat")
