Done.

Where exactly do you want to see link indicators? Normally link indicators like underlines are not used unless it is an area where it is not obvious that a link is in the text, for example in a paragraph in a post. Common best practice today is to use color versus underlines (see CNN, Google News, Google search results, Yahoo News screenshot attachments, these are all links, but none of the links have link indicators ... just 4 of many examples of best practices today to use underlines and other link indicators very rarely and specifically.).

I assume you mean "links in paragraphs inside posts"? Please provide a link to an example area on the site where you want to see link indicators; because I have gone over the site, and I think all the links are very obvious without having underlines all over the site (unless hovered), but perhaps I missed an area?

Actually, I plan to remove the underlines from almost all links which are in lists, fieldsets, etc since best practices today are not to use underlines (CSS: text-decoration: none) for links. I don't know any modern day website which uses underlines for links, but a few do change colors (or use other link indicators) of a link when the link is embedded in a paragraph of text.

If you have a specific area on the site you are interested in having link indicators please post and I'll take a look!

Thanks.

Hello Neo,

I would like to request you 2 things.

I- I could see Thanks button is still on right corner.
II- I can't click on Thanks button it is not doing anything I only tested with IE-11.

Thought to highlight these points here.


Thanks,
R. Singh

Thanks.

We do not support the IE browser. Sorry. IE does not follow industry standards (consistently) and has so little market share these days, that we cannot spend time to support ID. Sorry again.

Please use either Chome, FF or Safari to view this site.

We officially recommend Chrome as the browser of choice; however we also test on FF and Safari Smilie We do not test or modify the code for IE. Again, my apologies for that.

Cheers.

Guess where the link is in this paragraph... If you find the link and follow it to post #3 in the thread, you'll note that there are two paragraphs of text that say:
Quote:

which contains three links that are invisible unless you happen to roll the cursor over the links. If you do move the cursor over the links, they each appear as underlined text. Until the recent changes, the text appeared as underlined text whether or not the cursor was positioned over the links. (It may have also been a different color as well as underlined, but I am positive that it used to be underlined.)

Yes, in those links, the color of the text is changed and it is this color change which indicates it is a link, not underlines.

This is the correct and expected behavior for links in texts, to use color instead of underlines and to change to a new color (and/or add an underline) when there is a mouseover the link. This is standard best practice for links in text these days.

Do you want to change the color of the link indicator color (in post text) to make it stand out more?
