    Default Suggestion for Austech

    I could not find a forum that offers suggestions and "improvements" so this one seemed the most appropriate. I was wondering if you could modify the BB code for url= to include an underline or a brighter colour. A link within a post gets lost in the text as the link only shows up as blue which is similar enough to the surrounding text to make it nearly "invisible". Even setting Boldface may improve the chances of those looking to click on a link within a post.

    Admin, please move as you see fit. Tell me to get stuffed, too, if you like!

    You will have to post up a screen shot mate as I am not sure exactly what you are referring to.

    This is what he is referring to and is even worse when some members use a single word, such as "here" in the text of the post to actually hide the ' url '. Similar with other bb codes such as img.

    Due to laziness by 'skip reading' and old age, I too have missed the odd link as described by B4life so I can imagine how easily anyone with a vision or colour problem could miss it too.
    I stand unequivicably behind everything I say , I just dont ever remember saying it !!

    Its probably even worse when people use blue text I would think

    I think I will wait for the original poster as your example doesnt appear to show any problem that I can see..

    I've got a suggestion, keep the new avatar admin, I love it.

    On the OP subject, if you read & comprehend a post it is usually obvious that there is a link in the text, so hover over it & find out.
    Cheers, Tiny
