I think that this has been asked, but I don't remember for sure. Is there a way to have your visited links show here?

You could try some of the new CSS options:

[webmasterworld.com...]

Of course,

a:visited
isn't particularly useful in a forum context, because the important information is not whether you've read a thread before, but whether there are new posts or not in a particular thread.

encyclo, Here is my problem. I'll have a forum with 30 or more threads with new posts. If it's a forum that I follow closely then maybe 20 will get a look. When I come back to the list it is slow finding where in the list I am with no indication of which ones I have read. Maybe there is some setting that I don't know about.

Since there are 400 active private and public threads each day (over 2k per week), that means visited and unvisted links do not have meaning here. What we use are the new post indicators and the active list.

You could try some of the new CSS options:

This turned out to be what seems best for me. I just stuck

[3][b] 
a:visited { color: green }[/b][/3]

in the appropriate spot in the existing CSS and put the URL for it in my system preferences.

Maybe I'm the only one here that likes it this way, but what ever floats the boat as they say. And if there gets to be too much green I'll just do a quick search in Firefox Advanced History Manager and delete the history for Webmasterworld. We'll see how it goes.
