Thread Links vs. List of Threads in Board -- Separate Colors

[lyndswins]

Forum URL: (private)

Is there a way to set the link color in posts to be different from the color of the titles of threads in a board? The same variable in the advanced theme editor affects both of these, but I would really like to use like a grey title color in the board, and red for links people add to their posts.

Hi

You should be able to add this line to the stylesheet [ admin > themes > advanced styles and css > stylesheet ] to change the link colours in posts.



.post .message a,.post .message .quote a {
   color: #ff0000;
}

Change the ff0000 to the colour of your liking.

Thank you for your answer! That doesn't seem to be working though

I couldn't find a post on your forum with a thread link in to check it. Could you link me to one?

[lyndswins]

These in the brackets are links

I also edited this one so there is a link outside of a quote (although I have a template that uses blockquotes, so ideally it would change the link color regardless but just for testing purposes )

Thanks!

I may have misinterpreted. Did you want all links in posts to be a different colour, or just links to other threads that are posted?

[lyndswins]

Links in posts should be a different color (ie: in all posts, links should be red).
Right now, if I change the color of links in the Visual Editor, it also changes the color of thread lists, which should be different.

Thank you for looking at it

No problem. I did misread it. I thought you only wanted to change links if they were links to another topic on your forum.

I have modified to code above if you would like to try that instead. It should change them all, but if it misses something, let me know.

[lyndswins]

that works beautifully! Thank you!

No problem. Glad i could help
