(This is mainly for Stack Overflow, I did personally not check out color schemes on the other sites. But a similar issue has been raised for beta sites.)
I don't think the current style for visited links on Stack Overflow posts is very nice. The text is black
and links are #4A6B82
which looks almost like black or a very dark grey on my screen. That's not very accessible (and that's in spite of my good eyesight).
Additionally, links in inline code sections do not get underlined on hover, which makes them even harder to spot. Sometimes I link to documentation by putting a link on ClassName
(<- like this), and it is very hard to notice that it is even there (apparently, Meta has the same problem…).
I would find brighter links and consistent underlining very helpful.
I'll tag this as [bug] because I think link coloring is actually broken. And the other choices ([feature-request] [discussion] [support]) don't really fit.
Just underline it with light dotted line so it won't add any noise but it will 10x more recognizable
the code
was a link and he was referring to my jsFiddle. But I didn't notice the link and thought he was referring to my code pasted into the question. The problem was that the jsFiddle and pasted code actually worked slightly differently because one was in body and one was in head. I had to ask for clarification and only later realized that it was a link.
