Title: text format for links
Post by Nombril on Nov 2nd, 2010, 7:05pm
Not sure if this is specific to me or not... it seems the text for links on the pages has changed.  The color used to change for those links I had visited before. (In Firefox or Safari)  This is a bit inconvenient for a page like "Commented Games", where I look if there are new comments, and don't always remember which I have checked before.

The links under 'community' do change to a different shade to blue.  But other places (announcements, commented games) do not.

Not a big deal, but thought I would mention it in case I was missing something on my side.

Yeah, I noticed some different coloring today as well. I was gonna say something earlier, but I considered the possibility that I was just seeing things after having a very rough day yesterday.  :-)  I use Chrome for my browser. Something must have changed with the Arimaa.com site ... I don't think it is specific to you.

I had some feedback that the underlined links were making the site look prehistoric :-) So I changed the style of the links.

I changed it now so that the viewed comment will have a different color link.

Omar,

I think the different colored links (for viewed pages) is not distinct enough. It just goes from one shade of blue to a slightly less darker shade of blue ... very minimal in my opinion and tough to distinguish at a quick glance. If you prefer the newer, less "prehistoric" link style, can you at least make the coloring more distinct (orange, tan or whatever it was before)? Thanks.

I think it was a purple. How's that.
