Is there a way to either automatically bold or always underline URL links embedded in posts?
They are always the same font and color of the regular text so you don't know a link is there until you hover over it.

Actually, that's not true. They are a different color. I could probably make it more obvious, but I'll have to think about it. I don't want them to look gaudy. Here's a link. The text is gray while the link is brown and it does underline when the mouse hovers over it.Redwingtom wrote:Is there a way to either automatically bold or always underline URL links embedded in posts?

Okay...I see the difference. It's just pretty slight on my monitor. Thanks for the consideration.ZiggyZoomba wrote:Actually, that's not true. They are a different color.

Re: Suggestion - Question
FWIW, I have to agree with RWT for once.
It is hard to determine that there is a link in there. I like it to be gaudy so it stands out to me.
I think the slight gradual change in the orange shading at the top of the text box adds to this problem.

I usually get around it by doing bold and underline around the name of the link.
But then again, I'm into the bling. You should see my 22" spinning wheels.
