css eh

[RangeBob]

The current .css at www.gunownersofcanada.ca/css.php?...

says

body a {
color:rgb(0, 0, 0);
text-decoration:none;
}

body a:hover,
body a:hover .time,
body a:hover .shade,
body a:hover .understate {
color:rgb(153, 153, 153);
text-decoration:underline;
}​

Any chance we could get rid of that "text-decoration:none;"
or instead perhaps changing color:rgb(0, 0, 0); to color:rgb(80, 80, 80);
so we can see hyperlinks in text, without having to move the mouse over every word, or 'reply with quote' to spot it.

Note color:rgb(80, 80, 80); is still almost black, but if you have good eyes you have a hope of spotting the difference.


i.e. without "text-decoration:none;"
The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain.
would look like
The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain.
or whatever the browser defaults/settings are for hyperlinks.

By way of recent example, awndray was kind enough to post this today:

----------------
You may have already seen the video of Jessica Hook and Taran Butler training with Keanu Reeves.
----------------

So, having seen those two videos, I went looking for them.
But, low and behold, awndray was doubly kind -- having already included the urls to the videos in the text,
but I didn't notice until I ReplyWithQuote it.

Hmm, looking at it now, I can see that the links are just subtly darker.
The 'just text' is color=#3e3e3e, and the link's text are color=#000.

Now that I know what to look for, that might be good enough.

whatever the hell you just said Bob

Apologies, I expressed it technically. (including a 'Canadian eh' vs 'html <a>' joke in the title)

I'll re-express:

At GoC, hyperlinks [ url ] are hard to spot. Please fix.​

The coding of the forum is sensitive.
As such any coding changes take a long time to ensure no loss of use.

The potential will be looked at during the next update.
