Color of links on forums
I’m colorblind, and I can’t tell the difference between the standard black text and the text used for links on the forums at all. This is particularly problematic when links are embedded behind text, rather than just pasted in the open.
Users asking questions often seem to miss embedded links as well (e.g., when @dstillman asks for a Report ID or a Debug ID). I expect this might also be due to the low contrast between the link text and regular text.
Would it be possible to change the link text color to something that isn’t red so that it stands out more from the standard black text?

dstillmanI think a first step would just be restoring underlining for links in comment text.
-
bwiernikThat would be sufficient too.
-
dstillmanOK, we'll take care of this soon. (I actually created an internal ticket for it back in January.)
-
bwiernikThanks!
-
dstillman(This is now done, as you may have noticed.)
-
bwiernikI did notice! Makes me very happy, thanks!
-
bwiernikThe underlines still aren't showing up for me on the mobile phone version of the forums.
-
fcheslackSorry. Should be fixed.
-
Gurdas_SandhuYep, underlines are showing now. Thanks.

bwiernikThanks!
