Hi Dave, I had a quick look at your site.css file and I found this:-

/* link */
a:link    { color: darkslateblue;  text-decoration: none;}
a:visited { color: grey;  text-decoration: none;  font-size: 30%;}
a:hover   { color: goldenrod; border: 1px solid black; }
a:active  { color: cyan;  }
a:img     { border: 0;   }

and this in your webbbs.css file:-

/* link */
a         { color: blue; }
a:visited { color: blue; }
a:hover   { color: red;  }
a img     { border: 0;   }

It also appears that your site.css is a complete copy of the default webbbs.css file except where you have made some changes..

I'm sure that all you need to include in site.css is what you want changed from the default webbbs.css file. This makes things so much easier and less likely to cause problems.

The software defaults to the settings in the webbbs.css file and then looks for changes in the site.css file. So if anything is wrong in your site.css file it reverts to the default setting(s) webbbs.css file.

This issue could also be browser related.

If you are using the Firefox Add On "Web Developer", click on the CSS, then the View CSS you will see all the CSS used in your forum. There is a section at the top (Embedded Styles) that could be causing this link colour issue or a confliction with what's used elsewhere in the style sheets.

I'm no expert with CSS but "Web Developer" has helped me out heaps with my own Forum...

I hope this helps..

: I'm reading the documentation and googling around for answers, but
: this one has me stumped. I want to change the looks of the
: board. I c&ped the info from webbbs.css to site.css. I can
: change everything except for the visited links color. No matter
: what I do, it stays bold purple. I even removed the underline
: from visited links, but not the purple. This is the code from
: site.css.

: /* link */
: a:link { color: darkslateblue; text-decoration: none}
: a:visited { color: darkgoldenrod; text-decoration: none}
: a:hover { color: goldenrod; }
: a img { border: 0; }

: I don't know CSS, but I'm learning it. The hard way.
