Link Color Options

[pteromath]

I have been unable to find any way to make the links that show up in posts different than those on the rest of the site. I.e. the color I chose for my skin works perfectly for everything BUT the links added to a post. I feel like making these links (and these links only) a different color, or underlined, would fix the problem, but I can't figure out how to do it. 

Anybody got the answer? 

Thank you!

pteromath, A link to your site is always nice because now I need to ask, is this a V4.5 site or V5 site? 

[pteromath]

Apologies. It is a V5. Here is the link: prpa.boards.net/


I've found the way to make all of the links on my forum do different things, but I would really like to be able to format just the links within threads.

The other board is aimed at V4 forums, so I bumped this to the V5 theme area instead.

You can go to your admin panel, then select Themes > Advanced Styles > Threads (Post Lists) > Posts. From there, under both even and odd numbered coloring, there is a "text" section to change the text colour.

Thanks for helping me out! I'm pretty new to this. And I appreciate the support. However, 

I am looking to change the color of links that are placed in posts, without changing the color of every link in every container on the forum.

For example:

From the home page you could click Reviews, and I would like that link to remain dark green. Once you're in the list of threads for reviews, you could click, I don't know, Pacific Rim. I would like that link to remain green as well. BUT, if someone were to post a link in the Pacific Rim thread, to say, the IMDB page for the film, the dark green color looks too much like the rest of the post, you can't tell it's a link. Ergo, I would like to make the IMDB link blue.

Is that possible?

Sorry, completely misread your post! Go to the Style Sheet tab on that page, add this to the very bottom:

This will change link in any message (posts, PMs, etc).

.message a {
color: #FF0000;
}

Change the colour code (#FF0000) to fit.

Awesome! Thank you!

I don't understand this.  Can someone expound on this?  I want to change the color of the text in the links of each post not all links in the forum.
