Hyperlinks in posts

3 of 7 · 11-06-2007, 08:55 AM

I'm using the "Element Blue " skin and the links that people post aren't readily identifiable as links until I hover over them. ( They just appear as normal text )
Could we have them in another color so we know when there is one in the text of a post without them having focus?

I agree.

One way of fixing this, if you use Firefox, is to install the Stylish extension. Then you create a user stylesheet for abxzone where you set the text decoration for hyperlinks to be underlined. (As an example.)

Code:

@-moz-document domain("abxzone.com") {
    a {text-decoration: underline !important;}
}

That'd do it.

Looks like a good workaround kONGO, it'd be nice to have it done at the forum level though,, I have been known to visit the site on other people's computers with various browsers and it's an annoyance..

Same here. I use various computers at various locations owned by various people.

What happened to the way it used to be a few months back here where all the hyperlinks did stand out in a different color font and was underlined? Bring back those good ol' hyperlink days.

When are the broken hyperlinks going to be fixed so we can see them stand out on any computer we are at? (just like the "old" days) I think it might also be the cause of other problems.

Seems like the "New" management isn't home.....
HELLLLOOOOOOOO.... Things need fixing here!!
Do we need to start a bunch of multiple threads to get someone's attention?

I'll post a note in the mod forum too.

Thnx k0NG0 this is annoying the crap outa me... Mind you I'm taking massive doses of predisone so pretty much everything does LOL

Yeah, things are changing around here on a (seemingly) daily basis. I have no idea what is going on. But as someone who's been at ABX for over 4 years and has 5k+ posts - it's annoying the CR*P out of me, and I'm not on prednisone

***Ozzie*** · 11-25-2007, 07:14 PM

LOL...I'm not either, but sometimes I feel like it...
