Invisible links
blueshift - 1/11/03 at 11:38 PM

could I suggest changing the stylesheet or whatever it is that makes links people post invisible (undectorated)

often I have to think "hmm, that doesn't make sense, unless.. I wonder if there's a link in there" and sweep around with the mouse.

dunno how many links I've missed..

I do agree that the external links could do with being of a different colour...

I was just thinking of underlining.
You know, that standard thing that links have on the net..

but bold, different colour, anything to mark them hot would be good

That too could cause a problem cos some people do this!

I don't think it would be a terribly serious problem

Another idea on a similar line (that i've seen on other forums) is when you've done a search it marks the word/phrase on the threads in the results in say red, so you can see easily where its matched the word or phrase you're searching on.

Then there's the problem with showing all the posts from the same thread in a list on the same search. (is anyone getting what i'm on about?)

Oh yeah, plus the links thing this thread is actually about, different colour is my favourite, or use the standard blue + underline for a hyperlink...

over to CHRISW: duh, duh, darrr....
