Harry:
I'm assuming that one of those screenreaders is JAWS. If so, then to turn off the inline frame with the ads, do the following:
1) Press Insert+V while on the webpage to bring up the JAWS temporary menu.
2) Type in "inl" without the quotes in the edit box that shows up.
3) Tab over once to inline frames Show On and press the spacebar.
4) Tab over to OK and press enter.
That should resolve the inline frames issue until you reboot.
Concerning the not talking issue, I went over to the site using the latest version of JAWS and the latest version of Firefox and had no problems doing as you did. That said, if you are using JAWS 2021 or earlier with Google Chrome to access this site, there are some known issues and workarounds using both. Good luck.

Subject: [VICUG-L] screen readers totally messed up by an ad
Hi all,
Well folks, here's the problem.
When I go to this site
https://www.freelists.org/archive/handiham-world
Each month, has its own link.
I was just reading May, 2009 and each week, has it's own link, also.
So, When I got back to the main page, and I tried to click on June, 2009, I get this ad, it says ad frame, press spacebar to close button.
So I did, and nothing happens!
So then, I have go back to my bookmarks, find the page I just gave you all the link to.
Then, I have to go to June, 2009, and reopen the page.
both my screen readers, lose speech.
I'm trying to find an article, about a blind ham, who built an indoor loop antenna, to get on hf.
I try to search for that, and I could not find it, doing a google search, so, I'm going back through every month, of the handiham weekly eletter, from January, 2008, through 2017.
I tried flexible web, to get rid of the add frame, but it says "you cannot use Flexible web here, because there is no web page."
I don't mind going through each month, but what is happening with this add, makes me want to just forget it, because it's making me so mad, because I want to help this ham operator, and I don't have a lot of time to wait!
There's a ham who wants my help building a loop, and I want to help him, A S A P!
But I need this article, to see how to build it!
The ad totally messes up Narrator, and Jaws, you'll find out.
If I can't find this article, this man will leave the hobby, and I do not want him to do that, I want to help him!
So, I will now go back to the page I gave you the link for, and struggle some more!!!
Hopefully, someone on this list will have less struggles with this add problem, when you try it, and if you do have, please tell us how you solved it, because I don't think I'm the only one, who struggles with this problem, on web pages.
