links

[joe_bruin]

seriously, it's time to change the forum link colors. it's difficult to spot linked text without mousing over. here's a diff for your convenience:

PHP Code:

A:link, A:visited, A:active {
font-family: "Verdana", "Tahoma", "Helvetica", "Arial", sans-serif;
    text-decoration: none;
-    COLOR: #000020;
+    COLOR: #cc0000;
}
A:hover {
    COLOR: #FF4400;
    text-decoration: none;
font-family: "Verdana", "Tahoma", "Helvetica", "Arial", sans-serif;
}

the only problem with changing the link colors, is that almost everything is included in that aspect of the style sheet.

vbulletin does not use 2 different parameters for the 'post' link color and the rest of the sight.

as a result, if i change the link color to red, then all the forum categories would be red .. then, all the thread links would be red ..

very ugly indeed.

i have to go in and re-program some of the text parsing to include the use of [SHELL] again, .. so i'll probably be able to force post links to be a different color.

for now, i made all the links dark blue #003366

thanks for the feedback.

ah, i couldn't stand so much blue text .. i changed it to dark gray for now .. hopefully i can fix this.

this is untested, but will probably do it.

i did try this, but couldn't get it working .. i even forced font tags in between the <a> tags </a> and it didn't work.

i'll look into it more later.

editing the parsing part of the bbcodeparse() function did not work, .. however i just added a simple line of code at the end of the function to do the same thing:

PHP Code:

$bbcode=str_replace("<a href","<a class=post href",$bbcode); 


w00t .. there's your red links joe =)
