Safari visited links not changing color

My safari links aren't getting "marked" as visited in Safari on my new ipad air. So far, this experience with ios7 has been lackluster.

Well, I'm a mixed bag. After wasting time and missing the point earlier, thinking that this was about the Google app, today I finally suss to the fact that the discussion's a tually about in fhe browser ...
Anyway, I take a look and, sure enough, the first one I try does pop into a violet color when returning to the results page. I thought it distinct enough to easily notice, and couldn't remember seeing it before (use the app most of the time).
Unfortunately, that was rthe one and only time I saw that happen over the next ten minutes of running searches on multiple topics. All subsequent cycles showed the exacrt same shade of blue on return, and this includes tests run in the middle of and following such steps as clearing the app (cache, cookies history), force quitting the app, and restarting the iPad.
Nothing made any difference. That first time was the one and only time, so far, that I saw the color change.
Also tried a Reset. No change. I guess if it's really supposed to work then a Restore might do it but .... I think not.

Visited links not changing color on iPad Safari or other browsers

Hi,
On my iPad, when I visite a site via an hyperlink and then go back to the initial page, the color of that link is not changing anymore like it is on my MacBook. For example, in Google search, the visited links don't turn violet and remains blue instead. This is the case in Google search, Yahoo but not with Bing. The problem occurs on all my iPad web browsers (Safari, Atomic Web...).
Is it a bug or a config thing that I can fix myself ? Anybody have any idea or did find a solution to this same problem ?
Thank you,
Daniel

How to keep visited links from changing color?

FIRST, I want to say that it took me 10 minutes to find (accidentally) how to start a new thread. In my profile? Could it be any more obscure?
</rant>
Yeah, I go to change page properties and make links and visited links the same color. It still changes, and this happens to be on a page where the background color provides poor contrast to the color the links are changing to. Is there a way to do this that is not overridden by the web gods? Or whatever?
Thanks

Yeah, I'm a dinosaur.
Learned HTML from Elizabeth Castro's first edition; then went to DW MX,
where I am stuck. Works for me, obviously with imperfections, as I am
hardly cutting edge multimedial gripping Web designer.
Thanks for observations.
I'll ask for help again: I really, truly, cannot find how to start a
thread on the forum, nor reply to one, and all that. I don't see any FAQ
tht elementary, nor anyone to e-mail for guidance. If you can offer a
little of that, I will be grateful.
Thanks,
Denno
It's a very dated website using extremely outdated code.
Â
There's a whole mix of HTML formatting and font tags in there which were
deprecated 10+ years ago.
Â
This all means that the website will behave in strange ways sometimes.
Â
Although it can be fixed, it would take hours to debug, explain and
implement the changes required, particularly if you've never used CSS
styling before.
Â
You're better off investing some cash in a modern, well coded, CSS
formatted template which will give you a sound foundation.
e.g. http://www.projectseven.com/products/templates/index.htm
Â
Then you can add your content and get good results quickly.

Visited Sites do not Change Color

Since the recent Safari upgrade, the sites I have visited do not change color. For example, if I do a Google search, click the first link and then either use the back button or the refresh button in the Google search field, the site I just visited is not displayed in a different color. This is happening on other sites as well but not all of them. Project Gutenberg works as I expected.
Any suggestions on how to fix this? It makes searching more difficult since I now mentally have to keep track of which sites I've visited. I realize this problem has cropped up before, but the answers are from several years (and versions) ago.
Thank you in advance for any help you can give me,
Frank

You can use code in userContent.css or use the Stylish extension to override the page colors.
I use code like this:
<pre><nowiki>a:visited {color:#e08!important;background-color:#eee}
a:visited * {color:#e08!important;outline:1px dotted red!important;outline-offset:-1px}
a:visited img {background-color:transparent}
</nowiki></pre>
*Stylish: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/stylish/

The customization files userChrome.css (user interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the Firefox profile folder.

Visited links on safari do not change color

Hi, I use safari Version 5.1.10 (6534.59.10) and when i browse the search results on google, the color of visited links does not change (it should turn form blue to purple). This does not happen when i use other browsers. I have already tried to reset and empty cache.. ANy suggestions?? this is very annoying

I don't know if they're not changing color for you, but for me the purple (visited link) looks too similar to the link (blue) for my bad corneas to distinguish unless I squint.
I found the link below helped, and it works!
How do I change color of links visited?

Visited links in Google are not changing color. In Options Colors visited links are purple. Also, the "Allow pages to choose their own colors..." is checked

I have been using Firefox for many years. In the past year the Google page has stopped showing visited links in another color. Options are normal. Links should change to purple when visited.
This has been happening for a long time now. There have been several Firefox updates since then. Is it a problem with my system?

Does this happen with other visited links as well?
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

How do I keep the visited hyperlinks from changing color?

I am looking to keep the colors of visited sites, the same as unvisited chosen by the hosting site. For example; when I visit eBay, their hyperlink colors are different depending on location. They are black in the far left, and do not change color when visited. However, the hyperlinks in the center are blue, then change to purple after they are visited. I would like for the hosting site to use their own colors, but not differentiate from the unvisited links to the visited ones.
I know I can change the color of the visited links to be the same as the non-visited links(FF>Options>Content>Colors>"change"Link Colors), but this is not what I am trying to achieve. When I do that, ALL links are my chosen color, even the links on the far left on the eBay page. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

Hi raven0, I'm not seeing this issue on Craigslist, although we're probably in different cities.
Does this occur on other sites as well, such as search engine results? If so, it could indicate that Firefox isn't saving history for those page loads. You could check the Library dialog and see whether the individual pages are listed. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+h
* History > Show All History
If there's no history for those page loads, is it possible that the pages are being opened in private windows, or that history has become disabled in some other way?

After updating to 4.4.2 the notification light does not change colors. How do I fix this?

After updating to 4.4.2 the notification light does not change colors. It only blinks one color. How do I fix it?

Hello Saralynn43. Getting new updates is always fun, but then there are certain changes that can take some getting used to! This may be one of these cases where there may have been a change done to the notification system. What are the notifications that have been affected with the color change? Let us know as we'd like to look into this for you. Thank you.

Visited links will not change color in FF 9

Just upgraded to Firefox 9.0.1. When I click on a hyperlink, the color of the anchor text does not change. It remains the default blue rather than changing to purple, even though the settings in options>content>colors indicate that the color of the link should change.
Anyone else have this problem? Is there a fix?
Charlie

Help please-Text hyperlink does not change color on Safari?

I have set up certain links on my page to change color once they have been scrolled over or clicked. After publishing my site this feature is not active on Safari, but works on Firefox. I have visited other sites that have been made on iWeb and seen that this feature is active on Safari, so I know it is possible to create this feature. If there are any suggestions or tricks that would help me I would greatly appreciate it.

I am having the exact same problem. I cross-posted your submission to jaycheryl's thread after confirming, with my pages, your bottom-line observation that Firefox displays the code correctly.
The only difference in our situations is that I didn't edit any colors. I'm just using one of iWeb's stock themes. Some of my hyperlinks are OK in Safari and all of the iWeb created hyperlinks, e.g. the <next> and <previous> blog navigation buttons are OK even on new pages.
p.s. I don't see, or can't link to the "Helpful" answers available: 2 . "Solved" answers available: 1 displayed at the top of the thread?

CSS - some visited links always same color while others change?

i am using CSS and links like:
a { color: #00e; }
a:visited { color: #551a8b; }
a:hover { color: #06e; }
a:focus { outline: thin dotted; }
all fine here
but I have main menu navigation where i want the VISITED link color to always be the same - even after visited...
but the rest of the page can use = a:visited { color: #551a8b; }
just not the main menu ...
So how do i set that up?
BTW: Is it possible to have several css link setup code (as above) in the same page?

Thanks - I'll give it a try - so I can do several in a css doc like ....?
with class name menu
.menu a { color: #00e; }
.menu a:visited { color: #551a8b; }
.menu a:hover { color: #06e; }
.menu a:focus { outline: thin dotted; }
and also with class name section1
.section1 a { color: #00e; }
.section1 a:visited { color: #551a8b; }
.section1 a:hover { color: #06e; }
.section1 a:focus { outline: thin dotted; }
