The idea was indeed to make body text more readable.
The observation that followed links aren't different is a big deal to me, though. It's a usability problem that somehow I failed to notice and I consider a big problem for new users...
Yes, I'll have to address that. As it's common for people to rely on the visited color changes.
Also, on my machine mouse cursor briefly changes to hourglass when moving on the link. It looks like it was flickering.
That could be solved by preloading the image with javascript. I noticed there's no js on the page and assume that was by design, but maybe an exception could be made in this case, since there'd be no added penalty for people without js. They'd just be subject to the same hourglass/flickering they've got already.
In the past we've been avoiding the use of Javascript.
This "flicker" is only a problem on IE. There's only so much time I will spend on working around bugs on IE. Just like we don't spend much time in supporting old C++ compilers. -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org - grafik/redshift-software.com -- 102708583/icq - grafikrobot/aim - Grafik/jabber.org
