I've noticed that links made in posts are made bold but are not underlined. It may be friendlier to new users if we underline the links; otherwise people may not know to click on them, interpreting the bold for emphasis rather than for a hyperlink.
I'm thinking a change to the css would be all it takes to make all the links appear with underlines.
But I've also added a poll just in case I'm too old-fashioned for thinking this way. |

I've updated the CSS to underline links that use the URL bbcode. This will not affect when people put in a general URL, for example:
http://www.superhiro.org
Link to SuperHiro.org
Not sure if I can fix it to underline general URL's without underlining every link on the page, and that would look icky. But I'll see if I can.  |

Hehe. I'm 31. I added that part especially to see if I might be out of touch with what people 15 years younger than me expect from interfaces. |
