Hyperlinks Don't Stand Out

[Delta Force]

Hyperlinks look like regular text until you hover over them. This isn't like any other site I've ever been on. Can they be made to stand out more?

External links do stand out. Its only links to elsewhere in the forum that doesn't.

I've got into the habit of bolding internal links as a result.

But yes, if its an easy fix, I would also appreciate that being changed.

Annoyingly the forum doesn’t distinguish between internal links in posts and internal links on pages, so fixing this requires every link on the forum - including the main navigation screen - to turn yellow. To me, it looks rubbish and pretty confusing, but I’m happy to switch over to it for a week and see if people prefer it.

Is it possible you could try a dark grey for internal links, so the pages doesn't look naff but we can distinguish? Something like this, perhaps

I can experiment. Grey may not show up that well for many people. I can look into a pleasing blue that goes well with the yellow, too.

Okay, well, I've tried this - I will see what the feedback is as I'm sure everyone can see it.

So what it does is turn the links in posts blue, yes - but also every other link too, like usernames and forum headings.

Yeah, that's why I have kept them black all these years.

I'm sure I could get used to this with time but it's a little distracting in the moment.

EDIT: Within the alert box, however, the colour contrast is genuinely unpleasant.

 

[Meadow]

I can talk to XenForo about customising this but I think people now get why I left URLs as black all this time - there just isn't a way to make the software understand that not all links are really the same thing. I'll give it another hour though.

 

[Meadow]

Btw, the alternative is all links are yellow, but that includes - you guessed it - all the links that are on yellow backgrounds.

EDIT: Or TB's grey proposal, I may try that at 5pm.

 

[KingCrawa]

Yeah can we go back to what it was please

 

[Japhy]

I like it, and on Dark Mode it makes the Headers and Text Boxes blue.

 

[Meadow]

So it's grey now, which kinda works but are we now back to square one on links?

 

[Meadow]

I'd love to customise dark mode itself, I'll see if I can do that if it was a big upgrade.

Nice

 

[KingCrawa]

The grey seems a bit too pale to me tbh

 

[Meadow]

Nice

Is dark mode doing the blue links again now?

 

[Yülia]

The Preview Button and Stuff in the header are still yellow.

Go Team blue, (because I like blue )

 

[Artaxerxes]

Can we not.
