Do you have the Firebug plugin for firefox? That lets you get a look at the nitty gritty goings on of your style sheets (among other things). Don't have it installed on this laptop at the moment. I have it installed on my office machine but haven't had the time to play with it but it's supposed to be cool.

Ah. That was new. Well, I'm stuck then. :)

The problem is.. The templates called "postlink" but before I began yanking with it, postlink did not exist. What you see above was what I created yesterday, and for some reason, neither;

After looking through the phpBB site:

The simple solution seems to be just install a phpbb v3 style

Gray backgrounds are Avalon and Prosilver special edition
Smithy would be in favor of 610nm (orange)
 
Sadly, PHPBB version 3 does a better job at trapping spammers and handling their bogus signups, but it's apparently worse at keeping bots from creating accounts in the first place.

I have no way of telling what a valid signup looks like versus a bot... Sigh...

OK, here's the problem. for <a>, class postlink is overridden for a:link a:active a:visited a:hover

you need to have

.postlink:link, .postlink:visited{
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 1.2em;
line-height: 1.4em;
font-family: "Lucida Grande", "Trebuchet MS", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
color: red;
}
at minimum to override a:link and a:visited, though you might want to define :visited as a different colour.
 
This is interesting;

Code: 
.postlink:link {
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 1.2em;
line-height: 1.4em;
font-family: "Lucida Grande", "Trebuchet MS", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
color: red;
}

.postlink:visited {
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 1.2em;
line-height: 1.4em;
font-family: "Lucida Grande", "Trebuchet MS", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
color: maroon;
}

.postlink:hover {
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 1.2em;
line-height: 1.4em;
font-family: "Lucida Grande", "Trebuchet MS", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
color: yellow;
}

The first and the third work, but not the second. :)

Well all I can say is "Thank goodness for that!".

I'm seeing red, green for visited and black (or is it dark gray) for hover. And I certainly can't complain that the links are indistinct now *aargh!! My EYES!!! These goggles do nothing!"
 
Ah.. The green will change. I was just trying to make sure red and maroon weren't so close that they look the same in firefox and forgot to change it back.

Wait..

le green. She is gone. no?

Should be red link, #330000 visited, black hover now.

However the the line formating is being distorted with oversized text.
