Hi. Just wondering what is the difference between 'Problems' and 'Warnings' in the Funnelback Accessibility Auditor, given the W3C does not use this terminology in their WCAG 2.0 Guidelines. How is the determination between Problems and Warnings made?

A problem is basically an error that Funnelback can state with confidence - the WCAG check fails and there are no caveats that might turn the failure into something that can be ignored.

A warning might be an error - lots of the WCAG checks require a human component in making a decision of whether something is actually an error.

eg. An image only requires alternate text if it's conveying meaning. Purely presentational items can omit the alt text. Or a PDF that doesn't validate might pass WCAG by supplying an alternate text version of the same document. Funnelback logs these are warnings.
