Hover vs always underline

[AlphaWolf]

I think it may be a bit less confusing as well as easier on the posters if links would be automaticaly underlined instead of being hover only.

This text is a link.

Always underline looks ugly, especially on the front page. Check www.vbulletin.com/forums for an example. Perhaps we could make the hover colour a bit lighter or another colour to make it less confusing.

Make links as italic?

Make links as italic?

They are blue now

 

[nephalim]

I agree with Alphawolf. They are too easy to miss. Perhaps Italics, but something.

 

[Martin]

The thing is, all links would be italic, that looks crap.

 

[Allnatural]

I think it looks fine as it is. The color needs to be adjusted with the Dark style though; the links are the same color as the regular text.

 

[Martin]

Thanks for the report, Allnatural. I made the links underline for Dark EmuTalk, let's see what the Dark Style users think of it.

As long as I can make out the links its all good

 

[Allnatural]

While we're on the subject of color, the red and green titles don't blend well with the blue of the Dark style. Probably not a big deal with most users, but it looks bad to me. Of course, I don't use Dark Emutalk, so why do I care?

Looks good with the default style though.

 

[Martin]

True, hard to make them look good on both though.

pink pink pink!!

Is there any way that only the posts could be underlined?

 

[Martin]

No, I thought there was but appearantly not.

hmm...just trying to seed an idea here, but couldn't you code the VB url tags to add an underline tag in the HTML? (unless the whole board uses those?)

Smart thinking! I've added a replacement code doing just this.

However, it doesn't work when you do "advance url linking" and name the link something, as you can't have the same replacement code do two different things. So, it only works with basic URL links like the one below:

http://www.emulation64.com

This one doesn't work:

Emulation64

I like it like that!

Nope it's not good, I'll think some more about this and will do something better later. Will remove for now.

Ok, I meant I like it with no always underline. lain:
