Title says it all.

Reasons are too obvious.

C'mon CCP.

ALL Links in chat need to be yellow please, it's not obvious enough with just a bolded white color!

Shocked

HTTP Links come up yellow but not in game links? (link)?

So not only are you doing contradictory user interface, you are implementing poor usability? (link)



Please correct this by making ALL links yellow for ease of use, communication and usability!

Oh my. Absolutely. You are breaking the link paradigm that the web has been using for years now. You should have at least 2 forms of differentiation so you can see the link from the rest of the text. Colour and weight/underline.

You really can't tell if they are links or not right now.

Well, they don't particularly need to be yellow (though that'd be consistent and "what the user expects" by now), but they should stand out somehow. Simply making them bold is very easy to miss.

CCP I demand more common sense... I mean why would you even take away the yellow in the first place? Trying to make it EVEN hard to read? What is really behind this move? Why?

Just make the color different from normal text. They need to stand out, and right now they don't.

Guristas should have "BIGGER" Skull Bunnies in the default paintjob. Guristas and all other pirates should get custom ships like angels (or at LEAST fix the HIDEOUS Moa/Gila hull).

Different colour as standard please. Or at least let us choose. That way everyone can be kept happy.

Any "entry" in chat that is not pure text - needs to be obvious to the reader.

The change on SISI was without obvious purpose or function. If CCP doesn't like yellow for links in chat make them some other color ('cept for the color of the rest of the text).

Agreed. Links should not blend in.

for about 3 weeks people have been saying this, and CCP has yet to take action or at least respond to these forums.

I think the bold white is here to stay

Name me one reason why they should be bolded and white and not orange/gold/yellow.

Listens and only hear crikets.

Unless the reason is to have another person of special posting privaleges in chat of different colors would you reconsider consolodating previous ones first?

Please CCP its bad enough some of us are color blind, blind, or visually imparied its of absolute counter mission of clarity if you cannot seperate links and regular text.

plenty of people have already said this in other threads - I thought it was actually a bug!!

links need to be in another colour - it's standard internet rule no. 4

yellow - not white


I'd settle for orange or blue Smile
