Colored links

Post Reply New Topic

I don't like how links in posts in WP are the same color as normal text. It would be much easier if links were blue and underlined (like most links) as opposed to black. It's much easier to see that this is a link than that this is a link. I try to make all of the links that I insert in my posts look like this: <url=http://example.com/><color=blue><u>link</u></color></url> rather than just this: <url=http://example.com/>link</url> to make it easier for me and others to see that it's a link. Just so you know, I used standard HTML (<) instead of BBCode (brackets) in my examples so that they wouldn't become links automatically. Do you think this is a good idea?

Agreed, it's so frustrating atm

i sometimes write ( < link ) after it, but i agree this is a good idea.

I can hardly tell the link text from the normal text unless I hover over it with my cursor

I don't know why Alex changed it when he did all the other font changing stuff. It used to be alright with the underline under links.

I would love colored links.

great idea

It would work perfectly, wouldn't have to hover my mouse over the text to see if someone sent a link, would also save me a bit of stress doing so. Personally, it's a perfect idea.

Actually, there might be a way to configure your computer to automatically underline links instead of using the site's preferences. That might work, but you'd lose the computer's default link preferences (e.g. links in Wikipedia would no longer be red if it's a dead link, blue if it's a link you've never clicked on, or purple if you've visited that link before. They'd all just be black).
