Is it just me, or did links quit showing up in blue. For example both of these sentences have a links in them.

[edit]
My OS is Xp and my browser is IE7

I'm glad that I'm not alone in this problem. I'll try adding a screen cap to the OP of this thread and the post I made in the new theme bug reporting thread.

Firefox 3.6.15 on XP here. Links are the same colour as regular text. Annoying, isn't it?

Yes it is annoying. Also the Links used to be blue with this theme, but changed later.

I thought so! I could've sworn the links were originally blue when I first switched to this theme. I wouldn't have chosen to accept it otherwise because it drives me nuts when the links are the same color as the rest of the text (there's no way to know whether something is a link or not that way!).

By the way, I'm using IE 8 on Windows 7 and my links used to be blue with this theme but now they are not. I have e-mailed WotC Costumer Service about it.

I also can't seem to PM anyone at the moment, but I don't think that's related to the theme.

I've got IE9 on Win7 and the links are text colored. Yes, it's annoying.

Chrome and Win 7: Links are text colored. I *really* like all other aspects of the new default theme, though.

Hey, it looks like they fixed the problem. Unless of course the blue links are one of the "glitches".

Test (url tags added manually)
Test (url tags added using the editor)

I still see them in the same color as the text.

I noticed that your 3rd post had a blue link in it. Did you explicitely color it or was it done for you?

It was working right for a short time an has went back to plain text links.
And I did manually insert the color in that one post.

Yeah, I'm planning on poking Michelle about that... Maybe they put in an update that accidentally rolled back the link color or something.

@Vail_Nocturne: Are you using the default theme or looking at the preview?

It will show blue for me in the previews and the text box, but not on posted threads. That's why I asked about about that as well.

Ok in post #7 I see the word LINK in blue but in post #17 none of the words appear in blue even though they are all links.

Edit: OK I just checked this again.  When I first posted I was using the latest Chrome but I decided to check it on the latest Firefox. Firefox shows the links Blue but Chrome does not.  Interesting.

My bad I am a horrid post skimmer sometimes.

Hmmm. IE7. I have no idea on that.

Chrome however: Works for me on a Mac

Manually coloring works just fine.

It is weird that it is being so inconstant.

[edit]
The Links are blue again and my buttons have moved around.

The links are blue right now, but they've been switching back and forth several times over the last few days. That's with Firefox as my only browser, so it's not a matter of different browsers colouring links differently.
