Another question/suggestion.

Could we make the default/non-visited link color different/underlined/something to make it stand out from the rest of the text? Example:

If I link you this (http://media.defenseindustrydaily.com/images/ORD_M4_Carbine_Firing_lg.jpg) image in the text, it looks the exact same as the rest of the paragraph.

Where as if the default, unvisited link looked something along the lines of this (http://media.defenseindustrydaily.com/images/ORD_M4_Carbine_Firing_lg.jpg), it would stand out eaiser.

Not saying we have to use blue, just something that will let the reader know that there's a link being posted in the text. If I just have to stick to formatting my links with colors/underlining then I guess I'll just do that. Thanks for reading.

It's been quite a few years since I wrote the stylesheet for our forum skin but if I'm right the link style for inside posts is linked to the same class that controls how links look on the main forum page - IE the forum headers and post title headers.

So if we changed that, it would change ALL the visited links on the forum leaving a rather nasty looking forums. Which is why I didn't do that in the first place.

The only way to change that separately if they are together, is to alter the divs and separate them into different classes, but you only have access to very few divs with VBulletin, so that would either be very difficult if not impossible.

Then again, I could be wrong. It's been a long time since I wrote it. I'd have to go read a bunch of code to refresh my memory.
