Colours of message links
In Classic with Sidebar, the colour between a new message, a message viewed on one PC and a message viewed on another PC look very similar.
As you can see from the picture below there are three colours involved.
A new message has a BOLD BLUE title/link
A viewed message has a dark purple title/link
A viewed message (viewed on another PC) has a plain blue link/title
I cannot seem to work out the CSS for these links. Can you help?
I just want to change this for myself via Stylish.
These just seem to be governed by the css for normal links...
This is the css that this site uses at the moment...
Thanks CJO, can't make the visited one green but I'll keep trying. Strange also, I downloaded the CSS sheet for the forum and none of the above was in it. Attached is the CSS sheet from the messages page.
Attachment: site.css (6.0KB)
a.external {
seems to over-ride the
*|*:visited {
Thanks CJO, have also found the two classes can do similar things. The difference between the read and unread is clear but the difference between the read on this PC and the read elswhere seems to be a FireFox thing. So using
.read a{color:#FF0000;}
makes all the read messages RED (so to speak) irrespective of read on one PC or another and makes it easier for me to differentiate between Read and Unread messages.
As I said, I'm just using stylish on my PC for this not putting it on the CSS for the forum.
Thanks and lets hope they fix all the bugs running around tomorrow.
