Other than the fact that the hyperlinks were invisible...
What's the trouble with a line under them so we know they're links?

[SRTDodge05]

Soon as you bring up the home page thats all you see is a hyperlinks. Doesnt look good to the eye and makes it look like a messy page.

I see the user names are all underlined now so it does look pretty busy... I don't think it was like that before, when we had the hyperlinks highlighted.

If you don't like it, you can just use kONGO's work-around with one little change:

@-moz-document domain("abxzone.com") {
    a {text-decoration: none !important;}
}

Looks fine to me (at 1280 x 1024). The invisibility of the links previously had been very bothersome. I think the start page still looks clean and nicely arranged even with the names all underlined. Arguably, they too should be underlined to make clear that they are links.

This is the way it worked the best, the hyperlinks were in a different color and didn't get the underline until they had pointer focus..

So, I think the new way looks like poo. Another Stylish one. Dunno if Fx2 supports this CSS3 selector, but Fx3 does (I use nightlies). Makes only links in posts have a red dotted underline, all other links look like they used to before. Don't know if it's doable to get this into vB itself (without using CSS3 selectors, I mean) the little I can remember of the template system makes me vomit in my own mouth. If you have Stylish, by all means try it.

@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);

@-moz-document domain("abxzone.com")
{
    a {text-decoration: none !important;}
    div[id^="post_message"] a { border-bottom-style: dotted;
                                border-bottom-width: 1px;
                                border-bottom-color: #F33;}
}

Should the "text-decoration: none" also effect only posts or the whole page? Just curious. I like the red underline (I'm using FF2) and the link in my sig doesn't seem to be effected by the style either way, which is fine with me.

[k0NG0]

It only affects links in post bodies, by design. The first rule disables CSS-underlining of all links on the page, the second enables styling of all links in post bodies.

(The div[id^="post_message"] matches all div-elements where the id starts with post_message, and thus only links that are descendants of such elements are affected by the style properties as defined in the second rule.)

BTW: I have sigs disabled as I can't stand them.

That's what I thought the intent was, but I can still see the underline in the link in my sig. Oh well. I like it that way.

edit: hmmm, but not in yours.
