More distinct hyperlinks?

[Terence T]

Hi,

I find hyperlinks a little hard to make out in the postings as they are only slightly bolded from the regular text.

Can a feature be added so links automatically appear like www.rangefinderforum.com instead of www.rangefinderforum.com ?

Or perhaps links could appear in a different color instead.

Thanks!

I use this code in my links - it puts the underline in there:

[url = http://www.xxx.com/forum][u ]xxx[/u][/url]

To use it, remove the spaces around the = character and between the u and ].

Actually if u were to do it manually, all it takes is [u ]www.rangefinderforum.com[/u] to appear as:

www.rangefinderforum.com

I'm just wondering if this can be done automatically so all users will be able to have their links show up more distinctly.

Well that's what I'm doing except that I use the complete http protocol in the URL. When this site was redesigned a few months ago, I asked Jorge to underline the links but either the request got lost (he was extremely busy at the time) or he personally prefers the URLs without an underline. A pity because if there is one convention web surfers have learned it is that underlined text jumps you to another page. But Jorge is the boss... 🙂
