Re: [Lynx-dev] Request for help identifying cause of issue rendering page elements

[Manil Chowdhury]

Hi Karen,

Thank you! If anyone mentioned on the issue thread expresses an interest in helping to resolve this issue, I will add them to this email thread, and they can email with you directly.

If you want activity on the issue thread delivered to you as a notification, you would need to activate the "Watch" feature on the issue page with your own Github account. Email addresses cannot be privately added to the Github issue.

Hi manil,
I do not use twitter so cannot share the best e-mail address for me that
way.
Given the importance access to Lynx will play in Canada's digital future,
I welcome staying involved.
If you cc in
address@hidden
I would be apprecitive.
