    Board format.. underlining links or not?

    Well.. the main page and forums all have links not underlined... however when you post a message with links, those are not underlined as well.. and because all the text is black.. it makes it impossible to see if the text is a link..

    What I'm trying to do now is modify the PL so just the links within messages are underlined... perhaps through the table properties as the BODY tags I believe are uneditable.

    How do you guys like the main page with no underlined links?

    I think it makes for a more cleaner look.

    Well i modified the message PL file and now the whole page has underlined links.. I'll see if I can single it out to just the message text.

    I'm currently using a style sheet.. is there another way to modify A: link properties for just a small section?

    can you change link color to blue? that would work with no underlining..

    I could.. I tried it before and didn't like it.. All links become blue.

    I like the black main topic links.

    if I only knew where the URL parser was I could have it put [U] tags in the <A> tags.
