Underlining links (more intuitive)

[Aleksandersen]

Hi,

I would really like to see added underlines under links on this entire Website! - or at least in forum posts!

Most users still expect there to be underlines underneath links. And it is much easier to spot links when scanning the content (as most people do.)

A better user experience... Just by leaving those damn underlines and their behaviour untouched!

There should be underlines underneath every link. Except for buttons ans such, of course.

Note that it does not work when previewing posts. And no underline when hovering is the default behaviour of every Web browser.

Thats about all we are going to get here for now. I'll make some adjustments to next theme update. :)

Thanks ubuntu-geek. Thats something I always missed but strangely enough never asked for, wonder why. Thanks for asking Aleksandersen.

or you could just use a browser that isn't so fancy. dillo underlines ALL links--because it doesn't know what else to do with 'em.

Well I thought I would rather go after the bad Web design habits this time. :)

I agree completely!

On the forum, it's almost impossible to see what is a link and what is not. It's a fantastic looking forum, but the lack of links is a big difficulty.

Sorry - I see now that links are underlined and in orange. They look great :)

I was confused because on the Preview page before you make a post, the preview shows links without colour or underline.

How about a "text-decoration: none" on hover and focus states on those links for added user feedback? :)
