    Default Two minor issues

    These are very minor issues, and the first one is admittedly lame.

    1. Has anyone noticed that if you scroll down to the bottom of a page and hit the "Top" button, then scroll down the same page again, that the "Top" button will not take you back to the top?

    2. When a link is posted in a thread, the default color of the font changes from black to navy blue. The difference between these two colors is difficult to spot sometimes. Is there a way, Scott, to change the default color of a link to one more easily visible?

    Thanks for all you do,

    That's more a function of the browser you are using.

    No, JR, I don't think so. I've gone to the cafe on several different operating systems and using different browsers, and the cafe always looks the same. The problem I think will be that changing the color of the link in a reply changes the color of user names, forum headings, thread titles, and most other hyperlinks. Who wants a bright red user name? Users with bright red cafe hats?

    I have started also making my links BOLD and that way they stand out better.

    Like this. Click HERE for a link to the Song A Week Social Group on mandolin cafe. I think that makes it stand out just fine.

    Fair enough on the link colors. For now, I've changed the hexadecimal from rgb(51, 51, 153) to rgb(0, 0, 204) and that seems to make them a bit clearer.

    I have been using the underline feature on my links since we put the last software into service.

    I personally can't stomach underlined links, but whatever works for individual users, I'm all for.

    If you look at the two sites I created I don't underline them either but it made it easier here.

    Thank you very much, Scott. That is better without being over the top. Like Barbara and Mike, I'd changed the link to make it more obvious. Bright Red for me, but it did make the word bluegrass look funny.

    Well, it's certainly a happier blue. Happy, happy, happy!
