View Full Version : Format of url tag

When posts are made that use the url tag (http://www.warboards.org) (for hyperlinks), it's often hard to pick the link out of the text unless you know where to possibly mouseover. Can the color and/or format (add an underline for example) be changed so that they can be identified just by glancing at the post?

There's a url link in this post. See if you can find it without having to search line by line.

The [url] tag is a shade lighter. ;)

Yes, it should be changed, took me ages to find it. But then again I use the hand as a cursor. ;)

I found it straight away, but that was out of sheer luck. It would be much better if the format was changed to make it more obvious.

I think the only reason that URL tag was lighter in this case was because I had already visited http://www.warboards.org

Edit: After testing, it seems (http://www.nowhereinparticularblahblah.com) that's not true, the URL is always a shade lighter, for visited and non-visited links. Just like in this sentence.

I have no problem spotting them, however it blends in a bit too much :\

Yeah. It's much too light...I'd go with Exedore's suggestion of adding an underline or something.

Just bold or strong it. It can stay the same color, but can stand out a bit.

Nvm, it seems bolding changes its color ;( GOGO CSS.

CSS is awesome. If only I could learn how to do those awesome CSS tablethings that seem to be the craze nowadays. ;)
