Accessibility failure when blind mode is activated.

I am visually impaired and use the site's accessibility features to play. Unfortunately, I really miss the option to challenge a player or follow them directly from their profile page.
If you could fix this issue, I would greatly appreciate it.

I confirm, it doesnt work, from a user page you cannot no more challenge him. Using edge with jaws from windows
Unfortunately, i notice that a lot of accessibility regressions happen lately... please developers, be careful when making changes.... should be very useful a staging site, were blind expert could test accessibility, i admit that for sighted user its not easy to use a screen readers and make proper tests...

@lucad1971 I don't have an explanation for this issue.

It was fixed and visible in the main site. Now it's failing again (as you noticed).

However, when I run a local instance, it's working as expected.

There should be a server refresh tomorrow 8 GMT. We will see then.

The original problem was a side effect of a change in the visual interface.

I am surprised when you speak of a lot of regressions ... can you open a new topic and list them please. I'll address them as well as I can.
