For gods sake, make the links different colors

[uv23]

Excellent!!

In the described location, find the following lines:

A:link, A:visited, A:active {
            COLOR: #FFFF99;
}

(or lines very similar)

and replace them with:

A:link {
COLOR: #FFFF99;
}
A:visited {
COLOR: #CCCCCC;
}
A:active {
COLOR: #EECCCC;
}

See if this works.

Hmm those directions look familiar. Perhaps Morrus missed my post?

It wasn't the code that was the problem, it was the location of it. I got it to work, but not by putting it anywhere I've been told to put it.

Now you just have to replace the nasty greyish pink with something more pleasant. FYI, when dealing with hex colors, you have 6 digits. The first two are red, second two are green and last two are blue. Each digit can be 0 to 9 or A to F, with the higher values indicating more color. You can also use named colors such as "red" but hey tend to be overly bright and primary.

Bad suggestion, uv23. Why don't we find Morrus a color-picking utility instead?

Edit: Here's one; I can't vouch for it's usefulness, but it should get the job done.

Bad suggestion? Its important that he understands why things work. Sure he can use a color picker but thats no excuse to keep everything black box.

I'm just trying to keep things simple. He likes to see results without figuring out the mechanics beneth.

That said, my comment wasn't a criticism so much as a light ribbing. I was actually hoping that you could find a better color picker than I could... I don't use them, myself.

That was pretty much EXACTLY what I wrote in my post.
