The red background links on hover

igor@af · #1 04-13-2009, 09:36 AM

What do you guys think?
Do you like the red background when mousing over the links on AF?
Or was it better before?

I like it as it shows the member where the links are in a post. The first time I came across this I thought something was wrong with my browser

I like it too. Makes it pop.

Looks great.

HATE it - who doesn't know if they are hovering over a link?

I like it a lot better than the stupid pop-up thumbnails of the linked pages like I run into on other forums and blogs.

Ok, let me be the first to admit sometimes I don't know when I'm over a link. On other sites , not AF, I've come across text that I found to be a link that I didn't know existed. The text appeared the same as other text with no distinguishing features to indicate it was a link. And on AF, some members underline words in their post, and I check to see if they are links, and many times they are not.

I like it as much as stabbing my eye with a icepick.

But I'll go with what the majority wants. I'll get used to it.
But one thing I noticed is that it does not refresh as it should. For example (In Internet Explorer, everyones favorite browser

)...
Go back to the list of threads in COT.
Click on the first non-sticky topic (right now its the Choices Game thread).
Naturally the browser takes you to the thread, now hit the back button and the choiced Game thread is still highlighted in red and if you hover over any other thread link it also turns to red.

TS out (getting a icepick for my eye)

It's hard to believe how many issues IE has compared to FireFox... the simple CSS scripting to accomplish this is correct....

It's now fixed just for you

blazee · #11 04-14-2009, 11:53 PM

Doesn't really matter to me, it's a little different now, but before long, I won't even notice it.

How can you hate it? If I go by Firefox, which is all I use for AF, all that has changed is a red background, not exactly something to go into a conniption about. Deal

I dont like it, pretty obnoxious for a mouse over.

CoolasIce · #14 04-15-2009, 06:20 PM

I like the idea, but maybe the bright red is too bright. Maybe something less bright would be better.
How about another poll for which color?

I kinda dig it, but I see myself getting tired of it... and then not even noticing it at all
