URL's in threads

Hello there!

I'm a new member in here (llloving it!), but a VB veteran ;)

I noticed the URL color# in threads is very close to the regular text posted by users.
It may only be me, but in most threads where links (URL'S) are written, I find it hard to differentiate them from plain text.

For example:

This is the current color for URL's looks very close to the color of plain text!
This is a custom color for URL's where you can clearly see where the URL begins and where it ends.
This is a custom color for URL's - with underline 'rule' for URL's. The easiest to notice, but in the long-run the ugliest..

Have you noticed in the 1st example how much harder it is to know where the URL ends and the text begins?

:)

My suggestion:
Change the color of URL's!

lol I know.. I know you guys know that but just to save you time - here is the address in VB to that function:
Go to Style Manager--->StyleVars--->Links-->link_color


Few pallets that i think will look nice here:
rgb(0, 51, 153)

rgb(51, 51, 255)

rgb(102, 51, 255)

That's it.
I'd love to hear feedback!

Peace,
Asimon. :peace:

**Hey I found a classic "real" example of how hard it is to spot links from plain text:
Here to download the latest Stable version via the installer. Then here to get the latest beta. Unrar/zip it into your Stable installation directory. You may want to rename the HerbIQ.exe before extracting the beta so you can opt out of the beta if you have issues. We expect to release a new Stable soon.
