Hullo Betty,

To change the font style or coloring of a link from the default of a board you'd just put the styling inside of the link element:

a href="your-url-here" style="color:#f00;font-family:Courier,monospace;"

So it'd look like this: Test. You can change anything highlighted in green above.

Thanks Nori but this isn't want I am looking for. My site is a Teaching site and I am looking for something when I type something then click on the Link icon it will then show up another color other than the color of the text that I am using for that particular Theme.
See here where I posted a link and it says Here and it is underlined. The color of the font is the same color as the rest but this is what I want to show up as a different color so that my students will know that it is a link. Even here on Proboards Support the link shows up as a blue instead of Black the color of the font.

Hi, if you would not like to use Nori's above method (which does work, but you must add the code for each link in the BBCode posting window). To change the default link color for the theme you are using go to Admin>Themes>Color & Theme Creator. Once there click on "Customize Theme Colors". There should be a box where you can select the color for what you want Links and Visited Links to look like on your forum. Be sure to be editing the theme that you are currently using if you have more than one.

Hopefully this helps!

Oh sorry, I misread what you meant then. I thought you were wanting certain links you posted to be different than the default assigned by the theme of the forum; which is different than wanting to change the style of the links on your forum on a whole.

The place Night directed to is what you want. The 'Links' and 'Visited Links' underneath the 'Forum' section on the top left of the pop up don't actually change anything though in my experience, as they're overridden by the 'Links' option underneath the 'Container' section (right side). So if you want to change the link colors make sure you change it there.

Thank you for your help as I figured what I was needing was a code that had to be added to the style sheet. It has been years since I had my old site and wished now I had kept it but just put it on Maintenance Mode.
