Question about styling in one location

[WritersBeat]

Hey all,

My links in general don't have an underline under them to make them look like "links" where would I style this so that it does?

ALso, I may not want this for the front page, this is pretty much only for the postbit because if someone shows a link, you can't really notice it. If anyone has any advice on how to make it so that it is underlined/different color only in the post bit then let me know.

Thanks.

Anybody? I really need to change the style of links in the postbit section!

This is what I did to style links in my Posbit:

Find in your postbit/postbit_legacy template:
<div id="post_message_$post[postid]">
Replace with:
<div id="post_message_$post[postid]" class="vbpostbit">
Add this in your Style's Additional CSS Defitions: (Located in Main CSS)
.vbpostbit a:link
{
color: #848484;
font: 11px verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
border-bottom: 1px dotted #cdf16c;
text-decoration: none;
}
.vbpostbit a:visited
{
color: #848484;
font: 11px verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
border-bottom: 1px dotted #cdf16c;
text-decoration: none;
}
.vbpostbit a:hover, .vbpostbit a:active
{
color: #cdf16c;
font: 11px verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
border-bottom: 1px dotted #848484;
text-decoration: none;
}

You can change the CSS to make the links appear as you please, but code I provided will make your links look like this:

[top end ms]

or you can probably modify the BB code to display [URL] tagged links with underline html code.

That'd require a file edit. In addition, the only way to style your Links is using CSS.

Thank you VERY much. I really appreciate it.

No problem, glad to help.

Excellent! I thought I had to edit a file to do this. Thanks acidburn.

Hello

The CSS definition I gave is as follows:
.vbpostbit
{ font: 10pt verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;

}

.vbpostbit a:link, .vbpostbit a:visited, .vbpostbit a:hover, .vbpostbit a:active
{
color: #6633FF;
font: 10pt verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
}

I have my message displayed in 10 point Verdana but the links are not displayed in 10 point verdana. Please refer the below link :

Note that in the above link though the message is in 10 point verdana, link is in 10 point Arial

Can you tell me what needs to be done to style the links too in 10pt Verdana?
