Underlined hyperlinks

Postby IBBoard at 30 Jun 2008, 18:21

I've made some minor changes to the stylesheet that controls the look of the forums. It all revolves around the underlining of links.

Recently I had been wondering whether links weren't quite obvious enough in the forums. I've made a few changes and some previously non-obvious links are now definitely visible. The thing I'm not sure about is whether there is now too much underlining. Underlining draws attention to links, but too much underlining just provides visual confusion through an excess of visual cues.

So, is the style okay as it is, or does it need a few less underlined links?

Fair enough :) The main underline I was considering removing is the underline on user names in the topic list. If it isn't too distracting then I'll leave it, though.
