[gui-talk] Is Webvisum Dead?

Well...thanks goodness that web visum is not dead! Immediately after reading
your message, I used Internet explorer and firefox to test www.webvisum.com.
In Internet explorer, I got the web page loaded correctly and without
problems, and in firefox, not only was the web page loaded like nothing
happened at all, but I was able to get the message "Alert you are logged
into webVisum. Close this message." 
So I'm glad for god's sake that this service isn't dead; you were scaring me
like crazy, because before relying on webvisum, I used Solona as well for
solving captchas on the web.

This morning, I attempted to solve an image captcha using Webvisum with
Firefox 3.6, but got a 502 gateway time out error message instead.  And
attempting to access webvisum.com using IE 8, I also got a 504 gateway time
out error.  Does anyone know what's going on with Webvisum?  Hopefully, this
is only a temporary problem that will shortly be fixed.  On the other hand,
it is also possible that the developers of Webvisum grew tired of trying to
keep up with the constant flurry of new Firefox releases and decided to
throw in the towel.  And there is apparently no way to contact them to find
out what's going on.  If Webvisum is dead, there is no longer any way for us
blind computer users to solve image captchas without sighted help because
Solona is also dead.  This is a real bummer.
