HI Sam,
The change works as expected, however it may be good to understand the extra natvigation featrues that is built into the screen readers when navigating html pages.
When you open a browser in both jaws and nvda the screen reader takes over the keyboard, so you can navigate to different html elements, like buttons, headings, tables form fields aria regions to list the most usedd elements.
So instead of just reading the page out FROM THE TOP DOWN, you can ask the screen reader to go to the next heading or table or another element, features. This is the reason why it IS important to add headings to each new post in a topic vview.
So if you are at a page with a topic list you can skip everything else on that page and move to the first table by pressing t this works both in nvda and jaws.
You could also move to the first heading, but since h headings are used for the page structure it is very likely you will end at a wrong place on the page and this is also what happens if you press h when the main page is loaded:
you land on:
“Discourse is growing! 
” an H3 heading not part of the forum topic list you actually want to read.
When you kno
that the topic list is a table you can press t that will move the focus to the next table on the page.
jaws will say:
table with 5 columns and 31 rows
Column 1, Row 1
Topic
now If I use h to jump to the heading I will get the correct reading as you expect. if I however use the table navigation keys used in nvda and jaws I will get into problems.
you move left and right in a row by pressing alt+ctrl+leftArrow or right arrow. Moving up or down in a colum is done by alt+ctrl and up or down arrow.
So if you press alt+ctrl+downArrow you land in the problematic cell with the status links for the topic pinned or locked if used on the topic.
In this table in the list of topics it seems that everything in the other cells can get keyboard focus in the browser so using the tab key will give you the same results, but you may have situations where not everything shown in a table can get keyboard focus but you would want to read it using the table navigation functionality in the screen reader.
