Miscellaneous Hacks - Change link color only in post and/or cms articles

Was looking how to change link colors only in posts and found how todo this here on the forum posted by Lynne.

add to additional.css

/* change link color in posts and sigs*/
.postcontent a {color:#356fb7;}
.signature a {color:#275187;}

/* change link hover color*/
.postcontent a:hover {color: red;}
.signature a:hover {color: red;}

Also here is the code for cms article and article homepage preview

/* change link colors in cms articles*/
.article a {color: #336699;}
.article_preview_contents a {color: #336699;}

.article a:hover {color: #CC0000;}
.article_preview_contents a:hover {color: #CC0000;}

change colors to suit you

What's the difference between links and hyperlinks as you are sing those terms?

So, I attempted this. I edited the additional.css for the Style I'm using as such:

.postcontent a {
	color: #FF00FF;
	text-decoration: none;
	font-weight: bold;
}

.postcontent a:link {
	color: #FF00FF;
	text-decoration: none;
	font-weight: bold;
}

.postcontent a:visited {
	color: #FF00FF;
	text-decoration: none;
	font-weight: bold;
}

.postcontent a:active {
	color: #FF00FF;
	text-decoration: none;
	font-weight: bold;
}

.postcontent a:hover {
	color: #c1272d;
	text-decoration: underline;
	font-weight: bold;
}

But it just doesn't seem to be taking. Instead, it is just using the global body link colors instead. Here is the site I'm working on:

You'll note the first word (Acromage) is a link but it's not pink (just using pink so its an obvious change and then making it something better).

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

I fixed my own issue. For some reason, moving that to the top of the additional.css file made it work. Probably means I failed at closing something somewhere that I'll have to look into.

But another thumbs up from me - works great on 4.1.12!

yep this is fun as far as you don't have an image inserted into thread. Underlined images don't look pretty at all

I wanted links in the postbit underlined so it would stand out, so I changed the link decoration in the stylevar. Unfortunately, I thought it made the forum home look too busy. I'm glad I found this.
