Unidentifiable Hyperlink Color (i.e. I am blind) Thread last updated on 2003-07-11 21:17:06

I find it is slightly difficult to distinguish link text from normal text on this site (at night with a reasonably low brightness setting on my inferior quality non-Trinitron™ CRT).

I am aware that context is a 'right' way to hint that hyperlinks are there but I feel they should stand out visually without the need to hover the cursor overhead (or tab using the browser) just to confirm that some text is indeed a link.

Please consider differentiating link text a bit more from normal text.

Thanks.

I have trouble seeing to so thats a good idea, if i think it might be a link i move my mouse over it a few times but its not a big deal to me and i doubt it would take more than 5 minutes to implement.

only problem is that a lot of things are going to get highlighted that I don't want to. I will have a talk with CraHan though and see what can and can't be done.

As you can see from above things have been done as requested. It only applies when people use [url] though so it won't interfere with everything else.

That's exactly where it is needed.

Thanks DeV :)
