    As the title says, I noticed I am not the only one bothered by this, so though on suggesting a minor change in the CSS so the links outsand from the text.

    Currently with this template links are plain white with no underline nor bold nor nothing added, so it is easy to confuse it with the rest of the text unless it is in the following way: http://www.

    What do you guys think? Blue + underline would be nice, or any other color rather than white.

    Just my 50 cents

    Given I just bought the template and plugged it in, and have no idea how to change css, it's probably going to be a huge time sink for me.

    Not a time sink at all. Open "assembler_oldstyle", go to this line:

    a:link, body_alink
    {
    color: #FFFFFF;
    text-decoration: none;
    }

    Change #FFFFFF (white, which is the same color as the text) to #FF0000 (red) or #0000FF (blue).

    Change "text-decoration:none;" to "text-decoration:underline;"

    Copy both of those changes for the visited and active sections right below that and you're done.

    LOL... my mistake. my mistake.

    Try #CCCCCC. A neutral gray would work best with the original theme.

    It didn't just change the color for links located in threads but every link throughout the site.

    I was a bit one-track minded on that one and forgot that would be a global style. I checked a link tag for post links and they don't have their own class, so it would be a bit more work for ASSEMbler to add that in. He'd have to find where the links are added in and modify it to include a class name like "postlink" so a unique style could be used.

    Yup, so it seems.

    Well, nevermind ASSEMbler, I thought the links within posts had a separate class so the color/decoration change could be done in a jiffy. :banghead:
