Has anyone else noticed that URL's are hard to pick out?  The links look exactly the same as normal text for me.  If you don't put your mouse cursor over them, you'd never know it was a link.

Is it like this for anybody else?

If you know HTML, you can click on the edit HTML button and “put the link into a word”.  It still doesn't make it any easier to see.  Links aren't even underlined.

That was weird.  When I put the link in the above post, it was blue and underlined when I was editing it, but it looks like normal text again once I actually posted it.  I guess there is some sort of overriding style for the boards that is changing this.

At least we figured out how the link button works.  Now to see if I can manually change the color…..

This is another test.

If done after making a link: Underline, yes.  Color, no.

Blah blah blah

If done before making a link: Underline, yes.  Color, yes.

I'm aware of this issue. It's a CSS problem that I haven't had time to correct yet. It's at the top of my list. If I can remember it tonight at work, I'll fix it up. This is what happens when I try to hack and slice my way through CSS to change the look of an existing theme. Some things get changed that weren't supposed to be changed. :)

The reason you saw the text in a different color when you typed it is because the editor uses different CSS code for their a tags. In the actual forum, the CSS is set to turn the A tag text to black (It had something to do with trying to make the Forum listing black rather than blue), thus it will override any other color. However, there is no rules for underline set in the CSS, so you can override that easily.

CSS is powerful, but tricky to use right if you aren't careful.

Alright, so that's mostly got it. It could probably use some tweaking. Let me know what you think.

I set it to blue, because the post edit thing is red. So I wanted them to stand out from each other.
