Request: put underlines under links in posts


Website Feedback


Hey, I know underlined links have a reputation of being old-fashioned, but they're really a good way of easily seeing what's a link and what isn't. The subtle, barely lighter than black shade of blue that links are on the forums is very hard to distinguish, especially if it's in an ooc comment in a play-by-post. How about it?

Typical message board posts here are not so link-studded that it'd start to look cluttered. And the colour clash with OOC comments may be a thing. Looks okay to me.

I don't know about underlines, but I think we could easily adjust the blue to be more visible. I'll note it for the team once we're through the Humble Bundle rush :)

It's been a while since I've thought about this, but most browsers used to let you specify whether or not hyperlinks are underlined by default. But I see the Safari browser I'm using at the moment doesn't seem to have that anymore, so maybe that's not still a thing...


Technically, I could do it through a user style sheet, but those are a pain.

Personally, I'd prefer a more visible blue - that's mainly because I'd like to see [u] [/u] being introduced at some point.
