BUG: Visited, new links same

Arthaey 18 years, 2 months ago at Mar 3 23:08 -
I had a heck of a time navigating through the forum here, in part because of no search (request is here: [Link removed - login to see], but also because I couldn't tell which thread links I'd already read.

In Listal's CSS file, links that have been visited are colored the same as links that have not been:

/* Links CSS */
a:link,a:visited {color: #00248A;text-decoration: none;}

This really is a standard of the web, as written about at [Link removed - login to see] and listed as #3 of the top 10 most violated homepage design guidelines at [Link removed - login to see]. The same guy listed it as #2 of the top 10 in 2005 [Link removed - login to see] and #3 of the top 10 mistakes in web design, ever: [Link removed - login to see].

A quick Google of "bad web design visited links color" will show that this guy isn't the only one who thinks visited links really are better when they're colored differently.

The nice thing about CSS? You can specify your own stylesheet. It is even easier with extensions like userstyles.org/stylish/ for Firefox; though, specifying specific stylesheets for each site is supposed to finally be implemented in 2.0.
