Help with Echo accessibility

Hi folks,

If there are any Apple users with Leopard or Snow, can I get your help
with something? One of my favorite blogs uses Echo's commenting
system. To follow comments, you can just click "follow", enter your
email, and then you can reply to comments by email. It's really nice,
but since one of the latest Safari updates, the word "follow" does
nothing. I've tried using group mode in Leopard to no avail.

The Echo CEO actually suggested I get a PC user to enter my email
address for me. Wow. He says it works from on his Mac OS 10, which is
great but he's not using Voiceover. Can someone go check it out, just
arrow down until you find the comment field, keep going until you hear
"follow", click it and see if you get an option to enter an email? I
want to know if this is something weird with my computer alone before
I respond to the Echo guy some more.

If you're so inclined also, if you think you might know what the
problem is and if there's a fix, that would be great too because then
I could tell them.

I was hoping I'd never have to bring this here, but I don't know what
else to do.

Here's a post to test the comments:
