| Jul 1, 2013 at 18:50 | comment | added | Arturo Magidin | I have to echo Matt's comment below: the tagged-interested background color is too dim to be noticed, both on my laptop and on my desktop. Any chance of changing that to something more noticeable? | |

| Jun 26, 2013 at 3:03 | comment | added | Emerton | Dear Asaf, I had a similar experience with some links (i.e. barely noticing them). I don't know if was simply the missing underline, or a body snatcher, or, ..., but like you I was a bit surprised to learn that apparently nothing (other then some missing underlines) had changed. Cheers, | |

| Jun 25, 2013 at 17:01 | comment | added | Asaf Karagila Mod | @Andres: Israel upgraded the traffic lights a couple years ago to a shade of green which is very bright and easily distinguishable from the red light. I was great, even though I don't drive. | |

| Jun 25, 2013 at 16:53 | comment | added | Asaf Karagila Mod | Hmpf. Suddenly I notice that the unvisited links are blue and very different than the text. But the links which bothered me a lot are those that I am sure that I haven't visited for several months (if not more), so it doesn't make much sense. In either case, the color scheme is to blame, not me. Color blinded people are easily distracted! | |
| Jun 25, 2013 at 16:48 | comment | added | Asaf Karagila Mod | @Peter: It's a lot more than just the color. It's about the surrounding colors as well, and the contrast between them. But thanks a lot! | |
| Jun 25, 2013 at 16:47 | comment | added | Peter Shor | Unvisited links are blue. Visited links seem to be nearly the same color as plain text. The color scheme is different in meta and the regular site, with links in meta being red (which in my experience gives colorblind people more trouble than blue). | |
| Jun 25, 2013 at 16:41 | comment | added | Asaf Karagila Mod | Can anyone even confirm whether or not links appear in a different color? I want to know if it's my eyes, or the site... | |
