No lover of the underscore either. Too much emphasis is bad for the eyes.

What's the point about the underscores? people can define link emphasizing in their browsers.

Aaaaahhhhh!


That's better.


This is what a link looks like now. A bit bluer. No underline unless you hover. Bolding is not an option, as it will bold every link (every thread, post, heading etc) on the forum.

Everyone is happy now.

I trust.



cheers

Not when that's handled by css.




(OK, some browsers, or at least Opera, will allow you to use your own css, but I'm not sure how that works exactly and it generally seems like too much hassle.)

Nice choice in the shade of blue, Rob. The new colour sans emboldened letters and underlines looks very nice. :)

Not for me, it isn't. I put a person's name in and I can still see their posts. I do it over and over, and nothing happens. It's the ri ght name, too.

The ignore function is back?  Is there another competition to crown the "most ignored?"

Yes, the name is there. It is the correct name, but I can still see the postings. The function is simply not working. I don't know how many different ways I can say it.
