Why in the world would you change that?

Hmm, I guess you have to break something with this expansion.

+1 FOR GOLD LINKS IN CHAT!

Agreed, yellow is so much easier to see than white

Now, more than ever, we need a dislike button.

Supported. Should be orangey-yellowy-gold. You chose that colour for a reason on the new forums too, perhaps because you were familiar with it?

As I constantly have to remind the developers I work with, consistency is important, especially when navigating something new that the user may be unfamiliar with - it's a common point of reference.

I think this is the first thread I've seen on these forums where everyone agrees. Shocked

Make it black (at least it will stand out then) for my part but having a white link in white text is just plain silly if it's not a bug.

Fix it CCP!

I too thought this was a bug. It wasn't till I was prompted to seek out this thread I realised CCP might be that silly. Please differentiate links using a standard utilised by the rest of the world.

Why on earth would we not want links to be colour-highlighted?? What?

Yes please. An obvious link is better than having to mouse-over the entire chat.

Come on CCP, stop randomly removing good/working features X.

Links work perfectly exactly as they are currently on TQ - let's keep them that way.

The reason for changing the link style is to allow us to link to info in various places; Item descriptions (can be seen in the new tier 3 battle cruiser descriptions), The new Location info / autopilot. and more places SOON tm.

That way you can browse information in a very fluid way. Jumping from hyperlink to hyperlink, reading up on stuff. Without making every other word in the UI orange.

Obvious problems have occurred in chat and other places so we are working on solutions. So, the current plan is to make links in Chat, Mail and Bios where players input text look more distinctive than currently on test servers. But keeping the link style other places in the UI just bright white and bold. So we can hyperlink all over the UI without making it horrible to look at.

This has been clearly noted and we are working on solutions.

Fly safe.

Could you make it a UI option so that we can choose for ourselves? If we make the UI horrible to look at then we have only ourselves to blame.
