Visited links stopped changing color suddenly

visited links stopped changing color suddenly

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.

  • 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,

    It's a very dated website using extremely outdated code.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 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

  • 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.

  • 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; }

  • 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?

  • Trying to get spry menu to show visited links with different color

    I know there is Javascript involved I was just wondering if Anyone has sent it up yet. as a downloadable@ file

    Visited links need not be JavaScript driven.  They are primarily CSS driven.
      /* unvisited link */
    a:link {
        color: #FF0000;
    /* visited link */
    a:visited {
        color: #00FF00;
    /* mouse over link */
    a:hover {
        color: #FF00FF;
    /* selected link */
    a:active,
    a:focus {
         color: #0000FF;
    FYI:  Spry is dead.  Adobe abandoned it in late 2012.

  • Used to be that when I searched on google the links would change color once I had been to a specific link. Now despite the fact that I have my color preference set the links dont change color!

    Not really any more to say

    Either of the two styles should give you what you want, install the "Stylish" extension first.

  • How can I get visited websites to change colors using Safari?

    Once I visit a website, it used to change colors so I would know that I already brought up that website.  Now it doesn't change colors.  How can I fix that?

    Unfortunately you can't always do this, since some websites rely on a particular IE bug or weirdness, or use proprietary coding such as that horrid mess known as ActiveX. Sometimes though, the developer just throws in some generic code that checks for IE, even though they don't necessarily need it. In that case, you can enable Safari's Debug Menu and change the User Agent, which will make Safari look like another browser. To enable the debug menu, open a Terminal window and type the following line:
    defaults write com.apple.safari IncludeDebugMenu 1

  • 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.<br />
    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.

  • Visited links no longer change color?

    my visited links in  search have suddenly stopped changing color? how to get back to color after visiting?

    I had this problem (or similar). Links changed color as I clicked them, but if I reload the page with all the links, they're all back to "unclicked". None of the above fixes helped.
    Things started behaving properly after I disabled all add-ons (and removed ones that were outdated), then re-enabled them one at a time. I can't get the problem to reoccur, so I don't know exactly what add-on was causing it.

  • 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.

  • Visited links sometimes don't change color, sometimes do, at the same sites.

    I am using Firefox 4.0.1 under Win XP. Under Options/Content/Colors, the color of unvisited links are blue and visited links are purple. However, when I visit a link by clicking on it, the link temporarily changes color but after I visit the link and return to the original page, "'''''sometimes'''''" the link has reverted to its original blue (the unvisited color), and "'''''sometimes'''''" the color becomes the color it should be -- purple for a visited link. Using IE, the color always changes as it should.

    Thanks for the input.  I tried that, and it didn't work.  It appears to work for everything else - just not download links. 
    Here's an example of my links:
    <a href="http://cdn.setxvideo.com/001.MTS" target="new">001.MTS</a>
    in my header is
    <style type="text/css">
    a:link {background-color:#B2FF99;}    /* unvisited link */
    a:visited {
    background-color:#FFFF85;} /* visited link */
    a:hover {background-color:#FF704D;}   /* mouse over link */
    a:active {background-color:#FF704D;}  /* selected link */
    </style>
    Again, they work correctly in FireFox but not Safari.

  • 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>

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