Color schemes

[merrittgene]

I noticed in the lower left corner, a pull-down menu for Quick Style Chooser, with two choices that give slightly different color schemes.

While trying to see the difference, I noticed something at the top of the screen. In the fat blue bar beneath "BMW Motorcycle Owners of America", I noticed that there are links for Home, About..., etc.

The problem is that previously visited links are dark blue against the blue background, so I cannot read them. Unfollowed links are white, and hover links are yellow, so those are both fine.

The existance of the link bar is great, but please change the visited link color.

Thanks!

Knary, Kbasa and myself are already scratching our heads on it. It would be great if you can tell us which operating system and browser you are running. On my machine it looks one way in Netscape 7.2 and another in Internet Explorer. So we are scratching our heads a little... :doh

in the css add a visited pseudo class between the a.toplink and the a.toplink:hover...

a.toplink {
color: white;
font-family: arial, verdana, helvetica;
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 11px;
}


a.toplink:visited
{
color: white;
font-weight: bold;
}


a.toplink:hover
{
color: #FFEC00;
font-weight: bold;
}

:type

thanks

So it now looks like it might be an IE 6 problem. Hmmmm :dunno

Do you have this problem on the home page of the site?

Okay, I don't expect this to make sense, but the problem seems to have corrected itself.

I read knary's question, so I went directly to www.bmwmoa.org and observed that all of the links were white. So, I clicked Back to the Forum page that I had been viewing, some of the links were still dark on dark. I then clicked on the Home link, which took me back to www.bmwmoa.org. When I went back to the forum (I don't remember if it was via Back, or if I navigated there from the left side menu) all of the top links were white...and they remained white, regardless of which ones I clicked on.

I tried every link at the top. I tried different forums and threads. I even tried changing the Quick Style, but now the links are all visible.

Is it possible that there are conflicting .css sheets and clicking a link from the www.bmwmoa.org page superceded the one that was giving me trouble?

Is anyone else still seeing dark on dark links? Maybe you can add your experience to this.

I am running XP pro and IE6. No problems at all. I think it is nice to have my bikes colors as the scheme :twirl

I fixed it. Some versions of IE were improperly inheriting a style that should have been superceded by a specified class for the links.

Sorry, I shoulda posted something but got sucked into almost having fun tonight instead of hanging out at my computer. :doh
