    EDIT: I think the new 5.0 skins are fine when it comes to link colors, so this request is open only for a specific skin, "KHV4.0: Final Mix."

    Currently as it is now, I find it really hard to differentiate between links and regular text on this site.

    So my suggestion is to change the default color for links.

    Or maybe change default text color and leave the color of links alone.

    Or maybe add some underlines.

    I find this to be a pretty good idea, but I've never really had trouble finding the links.

    Others may find this very useful, though.

    I agree.

    I think either this or this would work.

    I would say a light blue would suffice. As that's what most links on other forums are...But, iunno

    I really don't like the bright color of that blue or yellow and you know you can change it yourself just do this:


    HTML:
    [URL="URL HERE"][COLOR="COLOR HERE"]TEXT HERE[/COLOR][/URL]
    
    So it would end up looking like this

    That works for links you post, but they're saying it is hard to tell where other people's links are.

    IDK, this is one where it isn't really an issue for me. I actually found your opening post hard to read because I was distracted by the switching back and forth from links. But I do understand where it can be an issue.

    I do agree with Lux though that the ones Amaury posted are a bit much. But this is something that would preferably be unique for each skin, so deciding on a good global color is somewhat unnecessary IMO.

    I believe this was suggested a while ago (when we got the new skin), and the reason it couldn't be changed was because it would change other things as well and wouldn't look good.
    I'll try and find the reasoning again but I think that was it.

    So it would be asking too much for someone to change the styles so that it only affects posts?

    I'm not sure. Apparently, it changes ALL the links. Not just the ones in posts. That said, it can't be that hard having a color which can be seen on all links and isn't an eyesore.

    What about just adding an underline to it?

    That's what I've been doing for not customized user profiles, which use the default white.

    Hidden links wouldn't be very hidden then.

    That would mostly affect the spamzone but yeah you get the point.

    I believe the color of the links can be changed just within the posts, I'll play around.
