Thanks for your note. I was impressed with the template editor in LimeSurvey--it's a little bit arcane, unsurprisingly, but if you're hand-hacking HTML/CSS, it's *going* to be a little tricky. But it gets the job done!

Thanks for the note, Don! Making accommodations for the hearing impaired can be difficult--not everyone speaks sign language, and in an international audience as we get at a number of large conferences, even those that do may not speak the *same* sign language! Closed-captioning in real time is a special sort of challenge, but personal amplifiers tapping into the main speaker feed is a well-defined solution to the problem; theatres, churches, and many other places know how to do it, so it should be easy enough, if conferences would just do it!
