Underline links to make them easier to see.

[ColdWizard]

rah has noted that links are difficult to see, and other non-old-fartish people have agreed with him . So would it be possible to have the forum automatically underline links to make them easier to see? And if it's possible, would Dan or Mark implement the change?

And what is your opinion?

[Static Universe]

I agree with this. Links can be hard to notice, especially if you are scrolling through a long thread.

[ixnay]

I can see them just fine. No need to change them.

[FlameFlash]

going to agree with ixnay on that one.

[Nikolai]

I thikn it is a good idea. Not the most important to implement, but I think it should be done.

But ColdWizard, I thought the Great Banana didn't like pancakes?

Nah, it would look ugly. You can probably force your broswer to underline all links if you so choose.

I already have IE set to always underline links and they still aren't underlined here.

[Skanky Burns]

Oh.

Hey! Link This!

Actually, at times, it would be beneficial.

ACK!

URL's are always underlined unless CSS rules are set to remove the underline.

I think it's the colour that makes the links hard to see.

I don't think links are hard to see........they are a different colour.

Links are pretty easy to see, so I voted NO... which reminds me: Where's the Banana option

[FrustratedPoet]

I'd prefer them underlined. Occasionally it's too easy to miss one if it's in the middle of a block of text.

I think it depends on what style you use too, it's easier to see links on the MOO style than on the default.

I second this one, CW.

Now give me a Reis mark or I will poke you. *insider*

It's against traditional HTML not to have links underlined as when HTML was first used, links were one the most essential objects on web pages. Like they still are today. Or do I have to use Netscape Navigator 3.0 just to see my non underlined links?
