Hey, I'm colorblind... It always made me wonder what people were talking about when they said red was a "bright" color. My eyes simply don't pick up the red very well, so for me it's actually a dark color.
So when I see a dark red hyperlink interspersed in a block of black text, it doesn't even stand out enough for me to know it's a hyperlink.
Can we perhaps underline hyperlinks, or maybe give them a color that is much more of a contrast?
I know underlined hyperlinks are now frowned upon by the "web design" gurus, but at least the old board would do text in black and hyperlinks were bold blue type.
But I need something to change for my defective eyes!

Maybe I just don't know how to do it, but is there a way to add a link where the link is in text?
I didn't explain that very well. I'll try again. In another thread I quoted some history from the B1G Media guide and I wanted to be able to leave a link to the B1G Media guide. On the old board I would simply have created the link such that "B1G Media Guide" was a link. I couldn't figure out how to do that here.

if'n you were to paste (or type) a full link here, it ought to translate to a hyperlink autonamtically. autermati.... automatically... dammit....
that would require the http:// part too... such as http://www.cfb51.com , which just automatically turned to a link. I don't think it's required, but notice the space between the address and the comma in the link above... it's a good practice to do that and it maybe the magic element that allows the browser to discern where the link starts (http) and when it ends (the space).

I was going to explain how to do it, but then I just noticed something...
If you look at the second line above the "reply" window, you'll see ALL the way on the right a mouse cursor inside brackets. If you mouse-over that, it will say that it means "Toggle View".
It seems that toggles a view between a rich-text editor and a more HTML-style editor. If you go to the rich-text editor, and you highlight text, click the "Insert Hyperlink" button, it'll allow you to make that text into a link.
If you don't and you highlight text and hit that button, it will put a "url" in brackets at the beginning of your text and a "/url" in brackets at the end of your text. If you manually change that to "url=http://www.hyperlink.com" inside those brackets, it will make the text within the brackets link to whatever you put after the "url="...

Thank you both, I'll try it.
