That would be great. You can tell its a link but it is hard to read. And its even worse when quoted, really can't see it.
Yup, and it's especially hard to read on a thread like this one with lots of links all blending into the background.

Does anyone else find that links are a little hard to read because they are nearly the same color as the background?
Perhaps if they were darker blue and turned purple once clicked on (like most normal web links) it would be better.

Definitely.

I noticed that some newbies had zero posts even after posting once or twice. Funny.

Posts in select boards (I think just shmooze and goods for sale) are not EQP's.

Correct, in the "goods for sale" thread, Yisroel who sold  the Delta vouchers has only 1 post next to his name and you can see 3 on that page.

That will also explain how I lost some posts after Eli did the update. I understand why a 'Just Shmooz' post is not an EQP but why not the goods for sale thread posts?

Some people really take their post count seriously...

Perhaps there should be a periodical promo periods where all posts count, so people can easily up their posts. I think itll be called PR, post running...

Or we can just run a DEQP promo.  Or maybe a TEQP promo for folks from PIT, STL, RDU, or BNA.

Its a bit light on regular dd the links, true, probably in the theme, there is somewhere the standard link color.

It were nice if in the wap edition, I could type directly a members name that I want to pm. Now I HAVE to search for him, although I know how his name is.

Thanks a lot.

I have a tool that recounts the posts. I noticed that "Yisroel" issue and tried redoing the post count. It still came up 0. Then I noticed that the Goods for Sale/Trade board wasn't set to count posts, so I changed that and redid the count, but again it came up zero. I'm working on it (not actively, but maybe when I'm bored in the First Class Terminal in FRA I'll take a look...)

Eli,

Would it be possible to add a feature to "follow" a thread. What i mean is if i see a interesting thread and i want to follow it the only way now is to post something so it shows up in "new replies"
