Forum Link suggestion

[Brian]

Is there any way to change the default forum link colour ?
IMHO its too close to the default text colour and hard to pick out.

Hi Brian,

Thanks for the suggest...I've asked one of our web developers to look into this, it'll be sorted out soon..

[Brian]

Sweet, thanks

Hi Brian

The color of the forum cannot be changed only by using the color tags, because the <a href=""></a> tag ignores the color information not contained within a class, or within the <a href=""> tag itself.

This does nothing and the link is the default link color:
<span style="color: #800000"><a href="blahblah"></a></span>

However this coding will work:
<a style="color: #800000" href="blahblah"></a>

If you want to change the color of all user-posted links throughout your forum, you will have to dig into the bbCode-to-HTML conversion that's done and figure out how to add a class="userlink" to it and then you'd have to go into the CSS and style .userlink A:link {}

Not very sure whether thats possible in a forum, but if you wish not to use both the hands and avoid the 'Ctl' + 'Left Mouse button', you can simple click the scroll wheel inorder to open a link in a new tab.
Note: You must click and not scroll it

Thats not what I am talking about, its the general colour of the links. Its not a benefit for me to try and change my link colours because its all the links. Its too hard to see if there is a link in text because its the same colour as regular text .....

You can try out the following and let me know if that works

Login to your vBulletin as Admin >> Styles >> CSS >> vbulletin.css , then at the bottom of the existing code, add the following

.postcontent a {
color: #3333CC;
}

Note : You can use your preferred color and make relevant changes to the above. Hope that works out.

I think he was talking about links being the same color as the test here, on the eUKhost forums, not on his forum. One of the admins here should add the code indicated by MattBarthorp.

See, this is a link.

Yes, please give option for the users to select the color of the forum

that depends on your mouse and setup phoenix.. the scroll button click on mine opens up a quick scroll.. or whatever else i tell it to do.

You can revert to the default vBulletin theme at the bottom left of the forum which shows links in a blue colour .

[Brian]

Couldve sworn I replied to this :P

I dont want to use the default. I like euk's theme, its pretty sweet visually with the only thing being that you cant tell if there is a link in a thread most of the time unless its pretty obvious with the text that is displayed. I cant be bothered hovering over a post to see if their is links so I personally miss a bunch.

[Ben Stones]

I've modified the CSS via the control panel so links will now be bolded with the default theme .

Test

[Brian]

Nice! Much better
