Customize link style? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

I find it pretty difficult to notice a link in posts. Maybe its just my display being weird, but usually I have to scan my mouse over the text of a post, at which point the link becomes underlined and my mouse cursor turns into a hand. I'm not even sure if links actually look any different than regular text... do they?

I think I could get my browser (Opera 7.21) to override a page's link style, but I imagine that to be a last resort. Does anyone else have the same problem, or am I just blind?

It depends on the theme. I use Sandstorm, and the links are pretty subtle. I'm not usually looking for links, however.

I used to use Opera; there used to be a button that switches you to a user stylesheet rather than whatever the web selected. Try turning that on when you are in TFP, see if that helps.

hmm.... I use Dark Cloud as my theme, but Sandstorm seems to have the links stand out the best of the three themes available. I'll stick with Dark Cloud, it really isn't a huge problem or anything, but I'd put a vote in for having a slight change to Dark Cloud's link style
