At user request, the links have been changed back to a more common color with underlining.

Does it look better like this or like it was before?

For the record, I don't like the amount of blue.

I see no difference. still typical blue with red if it's been clicked. you need to check your site in all browsers, especially IE as more then 80% of users use it.

It's showing but if your browser is caching the style sheet, it will still show you the old style for that element.

Not trying to be a know it all but IE hasn't been at 80% for several years.

Personally, I don't like the blue either. I do like that it changes colors after we click it though. Maybe keep it that neutral "purple" color it used to be? Or a deeper blue?

How about the current black and then maroon if you have visited the link?

This may be just me, but I personally would rather links just be black with underlining. No maroon, no blue - just black. I don't really care if I've clicked a link before and I think the maroon ruins the flow.

Just a thought. happy :)

I really do care if I've clicked before, especially in the dogs for sale area. And I assume for people in breeds with many, MANY pups for sale, this becomes vital. My breeds have small lists and I have trouble keeping track of what I've looked at, particularly among unnamed pups.

I really like the color change. I think I'd like purple better than maroon. It seems to flow better. But really I'm just happy to be able to see what I've looked at already!

What about dark green on a visited link? It would go better with the game. Maroon does too. Purple, not really.

The maroon looks MUCH better IMO. Green would look good too, as Reina said, but the maroon looks perfectly fine!

Thanks for fixing that!
