[closed] improvement: Hyperlinks in posts (now with Poll!)

[leco]

If a hyperlink is in the middle of the post text it is not easy to see that it's a link. Obviously the post narrative would give a clue but the link doesn't stand out like it used to. Edited April 9, 2010 by ZeroHour

no way to show that it's a link unless you mouse over

except for the blue font...

[leco]

sorry no blue font on my display all the text looks the same colour

LOL the server was rolling the css updates to all the different styles, that would explain your delay in changes. I have lightend the blue and also underlined the links.

Hows that?

 

Cheers

[leco]

Much better thanks, the text could be darker rather than lighter maybe

[FN-GM]

Its only underlined when you hover over it.

[Gatt]

doesn't need to be underlined all the time - so long as it stands out from the normal text

[leco]

which it still doesn't on my display ymmd

[Gatt]

try ctrl-f5 - worked for me on IE8...

 

though preferred it when they were only underlined on hove over...

[leco]

Ah yes that works, not sure I like it but it works so I'll leave it like that for now. Presumably Ctrl-F5 toggles to turn it off again?

[ZeroHour]

I have added a poll to sort this out, vote now

No CTRL-F5 forces everything to be reladed, and not to use ur temp files...

@ZH - good call..

[ZeroHour]

Voting will close @ 22:30 then I will apply a colour/style.

 

Generally you have to ctrl + f5 to get imediate changes as your browser correctly caches the css files to allow for faster loading.

[leco]

Thanks for that, Gatt

[ZeroHour]

Right its a darkish blue now no underline. I cant go to dark as it will mix with the normal text on poor lcds especially.
