the color of the text for hyper links is very close to the regular text color. this makes it hard to see hyper links when they are embedded in a post.

is it possible to change the color a bit so that it shows up better?

All due respect, but are you color blind at all?

Text is white, links are light blue and go red when you put the mouse over them.  Seems ok to me, but what do I know...I'm a coder not an aesthetics guy [cheeky]  Maybe Michael or Daryl will weigh in.

I can see how the light blue and white can be a little tough to distinguish.  I can make the hyperlinks a little blu-er if that would make everyone happy...

...even I can see them....

and I'm an old, slow, blind guy...

but go ahead...add some saturation to the blue.   ;)

It could be somewhat dependent upon the display, my whupa$$ Viewsonic at home looks different/better than my laptop (cheaper than the monitor).

Yeah, there are some Samsung displays that are particularly crappy and I can imagine the distinction being difficult on them.  I'm bout to head off to a (real) work meeting, will do it when I return.

I changed it to a lovely blue (not really) that only affects hyperlinks inside of posts.  Is everyone happy yet?

Ok, all the blues I tried sucked.  So, I stole the color from TOB and added an underline.  That way there will be no confusion.

Very clear, thanks. [thumbsup]

The links aren't underlined in PMs, is it possible to get that changed?  Thanks! :)
