Black highlight for visited links

I just noticed that, starting a few days ago, all visited links in Safari are now black.
Of course, if I clear History, then the links go back to blue. But, one click, and it turns black at next visit. It is NOT website-specific.
How would I remedy this? It's driving me crazy.

Prior to posting my first query here, I had cleared the history (Safari > History > Clear History) and it did indeed bring back the original blue links. So, I could call it one solution.
But, as I recall, it used to be that a simple reload of the same page brought back the blue links. I wonder why this is not happening anymore???

Changing Safari Font Color for Visited Links

Is there a utility or some other way to change the color of visited links in Safari? The current blue/purple colors are very difficult to distinguish and I would like a more dramatic color change for visited links. Thank you for any help.

Visited Link Highlight Removal

In Dreamweaver MX. I created a journal title list for my
website. I used a table to do that. For each alternate rows, I have
its background in grey. Then, I keyed in the titles and linked them
to their own websites. However, after I visited the linked sites,
the titles in the no background rows are hightlighted in grey. How
can I remove the highlights and keep the original color for the
words of the linked titles.
The browser I use is Internet Explorer 7.

Thank you very much for your reply. I tried your suggestion.
However, my Dreamweaver MX does not allow me to change in the very
page. I had to change my template which I went in and found that my
template does not indicate any visited link color. After I changed
the visited link color in my template. It came out that the color
of words I used to link the website did change; but the highlights
are still there.
In fact, this problem only happens in a table. All visited
links outside the table are normal. I visited my CSS style file. I
cannot find any item for visited link highlighted color.
Would you please help me solve the problem? Thanks.
In fact, I just want to get rid of the

FireFox used to highlight visited links...then it suddenly stopped. Is there a way to turn that feature back on?

Firefox used to show previously visited links in a different color. That was great for browsing Craigslist ads. Now suddenly it won't highlight visited links anymore. Don't know what made it change. Is there a "preference" somewhere that will allow me to turn that feature back on?

Hello, I am having the same problem (with Firefox 4.0.1) but with a twist.
If i click on several links (say, from a seller on eBay), the clicked links ''will'' be highlighted and they ''will'' also be entered and remembered in the Firefox HISTORY window.
However, if i open another ''identical'' page in a NEW tab/window, those same links will NO LONGER BE HIGHLIGHTED (i.e., one page shows the link highlighted whereas the other page does not)!!! Thus, it appears as if NEW tabs/windows are *not* checking the HISTORY and highlighting previously visited links.
Thus, there is no way for any NEW tab/window to highlight the link since it apparently does not properly check the history. This gives the impression that the highlighting "goes away" after a certain time has elapsed, whereas, it is only due to opening a NEW tab/window and expecting to see the previous link highlighted.
Note: I have Firefox set to "remember history" and i am not in the "private browsing" mode.
Note: There is also some inconsistency here as ''some'' prior links ''will'' remain highlighted days after i initially clicked on the link (as they all should) whereas others will not (as described above). There does not appear to be any way to tell which links will be remembered and which ones will not.
Thus, there is some pernicious code bug in this version of Firefox which needs to be ferreted out.

Safari 5.0.1 Visited links colour

On a black background page a link that has been visited comes up as black text making it almost impossible to read. Is this something I can fix? I've checked preferences and can see nothing.

Start with a search of these forums for *visited links* and peruse the results.

Why don't my visited links get hilighted?

I had an older version of Firefox and after I updated noticed on certain web sights visited links are no longer highlighted. I can get this to work if I set the colors myself.

You're going to need to either turn off the "Overlap items below" setting on the accordion menu on your phone layout, or you're going to need to revert to the 7.1 version of Muse and re-publish.
A workaround/fix we put in place to avoid a Chrome browser bug has introduced a bug that prevents mouse clicks from reaching the items that are behind the area that's obscured by your menu when it's open.
We're actively researching alternative solutions to address the Chrome bug without this unacceptable side effect.
If you wish to revert to Muse 7.1, you can remove your current copy of Muse and install 7.1 from:
http://labsdownload.adobe.com/pub/adobemuse/builds/muse_7-1_install_win.exe
http://labsdownload.adobe.com/pub/adobemuse/builds/muse_7-1_install_mac.dmg
Once you've installed 7.1, you'll need to ignore the update notifications to avoid updating back to 7.2.

Visited links don't change color

Something I've done in the past 48 hours has caused Safari to not change color for visited links (this is still working fine on FireFox). I tried creating another user account and it works fine with that...just not with my account.
I've done all the typical things...repaired permissions, repaired disk, completely reset Safari to default and made sure all caches, etc. were cleaned out...both manually and with Onyx, reset associated .plist files.....nothing helps.
The only thing I've added to the machine is WebKit, but I tried uninstalling that as well, cleaning out all its associated files...but that didn't work. Returning to a Google search page still shows all links as blue.
Any ideas? I really don't want to do a complete reinstall...I just spend a week getting this new MacBook the way I want it and I have a lot of apps on it.
Thanks!
Larry

Thanks, Dimaxum...I've already read this thread, and every other thread about the subject on the internet. I am totally convinced this is a Safari issue because the links have always changed color for me using FireFox...always.
I'm sure there could be other situations where something else caused this problem and it was apparent on both browsers, but not in my case.
On my wife's Mac this is not a problem on Safari...it's something in my User folder causing it. For now I've just made FireFox the default browser and I'll keep searching. Or the next time I wipe my hard drive and rebuild everything (I do this every six months or so...old Windows habit that isn't necessary) I'm sure it will work fine then.
I was at the Apple store yesterday and tried several Macs there...they all worked fine. This is just somethiing on my machine.
Thanks for your help.

Changing Active and Visited link colors.

I am trying to find a way to meet a business users request to
set the color for visited links in the published TOC so that the
users will know which topics they have visited. Is there a way to
do this?
I found where you can edit the skins but it only lets you set
the color for active and hover states, not visited.

Retaining visited links question

I was doing research on a webpage that has about 200 links. I had gone through half of them, visiting those sites that were of interest. The links I had visited changed to a red color. This morning, I went to continue my work. I opened Safari and went back to that page. All the links were the same color - blue. Explorer has a pref option for what color you want for visited links and for how long that color will remain. Does that option exist in Safari? I can't find it.

Back to the top on this one. I still haven't heard from anyone on this and it used to be so easy with Explorer.

Hi, My places.sqlite file size is 30,720 KB have I reached the maximum size, is there even a maximum size for this. Visited links are no longer changing color.

Hi,
My places.sqlite file size is 30,720 KB have I reached the maximum size, is there even a maximum size for this.
Suddenly the visited links are no longer changing font color, as I am preparing for an exam I need visited questions to change color, to keep track of questions that I have finished. But if I delete a few days of history then again,a few more visited links change color then again it stops, so it seems something is getting full and not able to accommodate any more? Why are my visited links no longer changing color after a certain number of visits? I do have a back up of the places.sqlite file. So I have tried everything from deleting the profile, uninstalling reinstalling, creating a new profile, then copy pasting places.sqlite etc, but as mentioned after a few visits, visited links no longer change color, if I delete a few days of history then again a few visits will again change color and then stop again, so what should I increase so that my visited links quota is increased, I have also tried tweaking about:config and it has had no result. Although I was not really confident that increasing brower.history_max _pages (don't remember exact name, but I am sure you get the idea) is going to help.
Seems as though my visited links change color, quota is full and only if I delete a few days of history will I get a few more visited links to change color. Can somebody shed some light? As mentioned my places.sqlite file size is 30,720 KB so I think perhaps this has something to do with this? Would really appreciate if someone could help. Thank you.

There is no maximum for the places.sqlite database and other SQLite database files like I wrote above. 
All SQLite database file have fixed minimum sizes and if they run out of space they are automatically increased in size with a specific chunk size. For places.sqlite this is 10 MB for the minimum and for the chunk.

I have one problem and I think it is a settings issue. When I google the web I get results. Now, I visited some website and then I want to return to my search results and pick another search result.

I suggest that no response is made to this duplicate thread.

I cannot activate the colour change for "Visited" and "Unvisited" links

I've been to Firefox "Tools" and specified the colors for "Visited" and "Unvisited" sites but it doesn't happen. What am I doing wrong?

* Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the Browsing History.
* Make sure that the History is set to at least 1 day: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: "Remember visited pages for at least"
* Make sure that you do not start Firefox in Private Browsing mode (Tools > Stop Private Browsing is grayed, see [[Private Browsing]])
* To see History and Cookie settings in Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting "Firefox will: Use custom settings for history"
You can look at these prefs on the about:config page.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.history_expire_days (180) (also affects saved form data)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.history_expire_days_min (90)
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

Link Color not changing for Visited Pages - How do I set the Color?

In earlier versions of Safari, the user could select the color used to display links that have already been visited. I can't find that option in Preferences anymore. Some visited links do show a different color, some don't. Is it just random? How do I set the color in Safari 4.0.4 and activate the behavior?

HI,
I think you change visited pages link colors using Google preferences.
