make links more pronounced

[Yami]

Hmm... never noticed that. Though it might explain the techist.com/shop links I noticed.

After reading through the response... Am I seriously the only one that thinks links are hard to differentiate from normal text?

yes, I can spot the differences when I take a closer look. I am not that blind yet.
but I was hoping the difference would be more substantial. like MM mentioned, maybe more blue?

PS I hid some website urls in this post, how detectable was it on a scale of 1-10?

Pretty easy for me since I read it in the notification email, which is plaintext so I see the tags Reading it normally though I can still see them fine. I have great eyesight though, and no colour blindness.

However, it's not about who can read them fine. If there's just one person who can't then it's a problem.

Sorry Yami but I have to seriously disagree with that last remark. 1 person doesnt mean it is a problem. We have people on this site all the time that have a problem specifically with their machine. Does that mean that those manufacturer's are bad or that the OS is bad cause of 1 person? Of course not. So to say that just cause 1 member is having issues finding the links in posts makes the entire site bad or the skin bad is outrageous.

I can spot the links just fine. I dont have anywhere near perfect vision and with the sight problems I have had over the last few days where my left eye was swollen shut, I can still see the links. So it has nothing at all to do with vision. I am also color blind as well. So there goes that theory as well. I have not been able to wear my glasses or contacts since Friday. So it isnt like it is something that was just a 1 day thing.

I have already said I would take a look at it. Can I please get some time to take care of it and everyone stop hounding about something that is not an issue for every member on the site? If a 1 eyed, color blind Admin can see the links, then it cant be that flipping bad already.

Mak, is this not a "suggestion" forum? Everyone has a different viewpoint. I would think you want every angle of the problem.

 

[Slaymate]

How many angles are there? As many angles as you'll find on a dead horse? You can beat a dead horse all you want but regardless of the angle the horse is still dead.

 

[MindoverMaster]

Although, you can look at the horse from different angles to figure out how it died.

Edit: Mak, I'm color blind as well, blue-green. And I still do not see the links. Must be an add-on you are using on Chrome. Or is this not browser specific?

i've been adding 'Link:' above the links i post, just to be sure ppl know to click.


i think a color change would be good, also underlining would be even better.

You can add your own color, underline, or bold using BBCode.

Yes, but a new member may not know that, and post a link that is hard for us to see.
