No underlined links in posts.

In IE I set the "Underline Links" option to ALWAYS, but links in posts are not underlined.

I didn't see an option for this in Mozilla though.

Any hints?
 
Try adding the following to your userContent.css in mozilla and other gecko based browsers. It should work for other browsers that support custom css files, but you may need to remove the ! important.

a {text-decoration:underline ! important;}
 
The forum settings theoretically *cannot* override your browser settings -- that's the entire point of them. But apparently something is going wrong if the option isn't working. 😛

I would use sciencewhiz's suggestion, except if you want to limit it to fusetalk you can do:

body.ftbody a { text-decoration: underline !important; }
 
Thanks guys. Unfortunately, that doesn't solve the IE problem. And I can't install Mozilla everywhere.

Maybe I should fill out a fusetalk bug. 😉

I haven't noticed it anywhere else. /.'s million and a half links are all underlined. Same for undeadly.org. And OSnews.com. And linux-on-laptops.com. I can continue, or they can fix this. 😉
 
Working on the philosophy that the squeaky wheel gets the grease, are we? 🙂 After you've mentioned this in at least 5 different threads and bumped this one I would imagine that it has been seen. So far I don't see a great clamor of support for your position. JMO.
 
This is a bug. I've quit bitching about all of the other problems I have with the forum because they aren't necessarily bugs. But this is definitely a bug, and an annoying one. I'm hoping for resolution to it.

Thanks for the bump. 🙂

Unfortunately, the developers of fusetalk don't care about accepted human interface guidelines.

I'm hoping they return control of this to the user instead of mandating it from on high.

I tried to file a bug at fusetalk.com, but couldn't easily figure out how. Just have to keep plugging away here until I get a resolution to this. They haven't locked it, responded, or fixed the issue. So I'm guessing they haven't seen it yet. 😉
 
Hyperlink rollovers are very uncool if the hyperlink can not be easily identified before a rollover with the mouse is performed.

To the developers: please do care about universally accepted user interface guidelines, and make the links work like links at a professionally designed site should work (not like the links of a made-in-Frontpage site by a 12 year old).

Oh, and here's a *bump* for you, n0c. 🙂

Thanks. 🙂

Bolded text and links look exactly the same to me, so I feel like an idiot moving the mouse over every piece of bolded text I see just to make sure it isn't a link I should be reading.

Well it does not over ride a special style sheet, but it does over write the default of the brower...ie if there is no text info set that is the browser default. If I remember right the cascade of styles does as follows:
Browser Default
Linked Style sheet
Embedded sheed
inline style

That would be in order of less valued to most valued...aka a inline style over rides a linked style sheet's style
