Links in posts ...

I find that I sometimes have trouble seeing what is a link in posts to the forums. It is because the links do not have the traditional underline under them and the font color is too close to the regular font color. So with my eyes, I sometimes don't even realise there is a link. Do others have this same problem? If so, maybe this could be changed, since I'm sure its just a setup choice in the Admin interface.
Cheers,

Yeah, sometimes it is tough to notice a link that has been "described" ... it's easy when someone does a link like http://www.shotcritic.com but it's tougher if someone does it like this instead.

I didn't even see your link at all until I hovered over the text. And ShotCritic apparently creates those types of links when you use the Link Icon.

I'm so used to links like you described in the first post that I don't have any problem seeing them. I think they make paragraphs look less cluttered, so maybe a more contrasted link color (if possible) would solve the problem of not being able to see them.

Just my 2 cents.

Yes a significant color difference would help also.

You can change the color of the link.. by backing over it highlighting and choosing a new color A

It won't change the color of the Link. I tried it in another post.

I agree, the links are sometimes easy to miss. If they could be set to a color with more contrast or used a font that was underlined it might make it easier to see.
