Read Messages

[General Guest]

Generally when I click on a link, that link color will change to show I have read it. I have my history set for 5 days so after the 5 days it will change back to show that it has not been read or clicked on.

Is there a way to get posts in message board to show they are read once clicked on and read?

Hi,

That depends on your browser settings. If you clear your history the links will be back to normal.

I understand about the history, etc.

Right now I go to a site that uses one of your boards. When I click on one of the messages and then go back to board, it does not show that it has been read. All of the messages look the same so no way to determine what messages have been read and what ones have not been read.

Hope that cleared up my question. Now on this board, if I click on a message and then go back, the message is a slightly different color and I know I read it. The other board does not have this feature for some reason. Is there a way to get it put on the board.

Hi again,

Try this:

1. open style.css in a plain text editor, like Notepad or Wordpad
2. Add this code at the top of the file:

a:visited {color: #00FF00}

The #00FF00 is HTML color code. #000000 is for example "black", #FFFFFF is "white" etc. You will find HTML color codes here:

So if you wanted your visited links to be black, you would use this code:
a:visited {color: #000000}

3. Save, upload, test. If no effect try restarting your computer or clearing your browser cache.
