For gods sake, make the links different colors

[uv23]

If there's one thing that I can't stand about these boards (and there really is only the one thing) its that the style sheets bypass the web standard of making visited links a different color. When I browse through a messageboard, it is essential to be able to quickly scan topics that I have already opened. Consider this an impassioned plea.

Can't, sorry. vBulletin isn't designed that way. It used icons to mark visited threads instead.

Does it not come with a standard style sheet? Surely its look and feel can be changed? Oh well..

 

[Psionicist]

It is indeed possible, but only "manually", not trough the CP.

Then I'd deffinitely recommend that path and save the modified stylesheet as an override if you need to rebuild the boards. As it stands, mono-color links are a real detriment to usability.

Agreed.

Hey! It IS possible.

I browsed the CP and found a small box where you can customize the header. Add

a:visited {color:#xxxxxx;}

Edit: http://forum.sweclockers.com/, not your CP morrus.

Open your Forum's Control Panel, scroll the left frame all th eway down and click on 'Modify' under the 'Styles' header.

Click on 'Fonts/Colors/etc' of the 'Default' style (unless you are using a custom style ofcourse).

Scroll down to 'Page Layout' Header and edit the entry in the 'Body Tag' editbox.

Voila.

I added the line Psionicist suggested (using colour #cccccc); no effect.
