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

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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
     
    There's a whole mix of HTML formatting and font tags in there which were
    deprecated 10+ years ago.
     
    This all means that the website will behave in strange ways sometimes.
     
    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.
     
    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
     
    Then you can add your content and get good results quickly.

  • Visited link not viewing as read in Safari

    Usually when I read a thread on a forum, it will unhighlight (so to speak) to acknowledge that I've already read it. safari is no longer doing that unless I use the refresh button.
    It used to do it if I clicked the back arrow to go to list of thread to read.
    Anyone else experiencing this?

    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
    Click:   Remove All Website Data
    Then delete the cache.
    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If nothing above helped, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
    From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

  • 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 <b>chrome</b> 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 <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> 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.  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.
