I'm looking at it right now... looks like the stylesheet I sent does
that. Does the light purple really look all that much like the dark
red? And the light purple looks like the dark blue? I tried to use
simple colors to get the idea down for first, but let it get finetuned
later.
No, light purple does not look like dark red, light purple looks like light
purple. I meant that your unvisited stubs look like the current internal
visited links (and the browser default visited links), and that your broken
visited links look like stubs do at the moment. So it would be confusing for
people who are used to the current system, until they got used to it. I'm
not saying there's anything wrong with your system, I'm just saying that the
conversion would be jarring to regular users, and that it would likely lead
to lots of complaints. It's one of those features that will have to be
discussed and approved by the users before it can be implemented. Perhaps we
can set up a demonstration page somewhere so that people can see whether
they like it or not.
