It overrides my personal settings. It's a bug.

You seem to be convinced it's a Fusetalk bug, but it seems more to me like an IE bug. IE should preserve the local preferences regardless of a downloaded site's style sheet.

Happens in every browser I've tried so far.

This is just simple css, the links use a css style and it sets the text-decoration, this isn't a fusetalk bug from what i see. It's css thats all.

Are you telling me that CSS does not allow links to be underlined?

No, i'm just saying that links in fusetalk are controlled by a css style why your browser cannot override that is beyond me. I don't see how fusetalk could have anything to do with that, below is the style for links in messages.

a.ftalternatingbarlinklarge {
font-family: Verdana,Arial, Helvetica;
font-size: 12px;
font-weight: bold;
text-decoration:none;
color: #296A98;
}

a.ftalternatingbarlinklarge:hover {
text-decoration:underline;
font-size: 12px;
color: #E6931E;
}

Shouldn't happen.

Still looking for a solution!

You know, it really sounds like someone with too much time on their hands. I do not have wonderful vision and wear glasses but I can easily tell what is a link and what isn't. What's the big deal? So, you want the links to look exactly like those of other sites? Gee, it's a good thing folks like those at Mozilla, developers of Linux, Mac, etc didn't have that same frame of mind. Yeah, a bit of an exaggeration but you get the point. Life's way too short to worry about whether a link is underlined or not!
Just a couple of cents worth. 😉 If nothing else, it's a bump for you!

Someone else bumped it. I stopped complaining after a while.

Hmm, the CSS that comes with Fusetalk to style the HTML that Fusetalk produces would be a part of Fusetalk, no? I think the point is that people don't like links that look exactly like bold text, requiring you to hover over everything if you want to see if it's a link or not. I suppose "bug" is the wrong term. It is by design, but we just think that it's a bad design, and since browsers can't override it, and since it sucks anyway... well, that's why some people think it needs to be changed. 🙂

What color scheme? In mine, the links are bright blue. They stand out clearly...

Ah, sorry for not thinking to specify... I'm using the Dark theme.

Maybe some of the themes could use a little tweaking. I hate themes where links aren't easy to spot.

That's what I was using. I've switched to the "big font" theme or whatever and can easily see them now. 😛
