Not sure where else to ask this...

Call waiting for PC

How come when I post links they sometimes come out blue,but usually come out black?The system I use is this,brackets reversed on purpose; ]url[address]/url[
 
font color=blue>The reason it is different colors is because its "Been visited" or "Never been visited". The color choices can be set by you in some options on your browser. Same concept with the posts on TDR, if they are unread by you they are one color but after you visit they change to a different color letting you know you visited it. Make sense?

You can change the color of a link using HTML but its currently broke right now so I can show you.
 
I thought all you had to do was put www.something and it would be blue?

It is blue, until you visit the link, then it will not be blue. Easy test, click on the example link you posted. Now notice the link is a different color? Make sense?

I understand how the links work,blue,then red while visiting,black after read,but sometimes after posting and the post comes up for the first time it's just underlined black. Seems to happen mostly when I cut and paste a link. I thought maybe the computer was treating it like I'd already read it,but that for others it is blue.
 
Bill,

That's consistant. If you copy and paste a link from the location line at the top of a page then, of course, you have been there so it will show that way on a post by you. It may be a little confusing when you visit a page for the first time and it has a "visited" color for some link you have visited from some other page.

The behaviour of the link colors is a little different between IE and NS. IE shows them as red while for currently visited and NS does not.
