Could a link in a post be in a different colour please?

Having read the replies I investigated.

I usually use Google Chrome on a laptop PC.

I tried Microsoft Edge. as well

Upon getting really close to the screen, having removed my glasses, I can tell that the link is in a very dark teal colour, but at normal distance of around 60 centimetres, for which my special glasses optimised for viewing a computer at 60 centimetres have been made, the colour difference is not noticeable to me.

So does the web page actually indicate to have colour or are the browsers making their own decisions about colour when a link is detected in a browser?

I am aware that it could be how I personally discern colours but I do see blue well in other contexts and distinguish colours of the spectrum from each other.

Perhaps there is a browser option for link colours that I could change.

Are you saying that the links you post aren’t showing blue?

EP, You have to create a hyperlink using the words click here linked to the original address. It will then become blue.
I have forgotten how to do it, ages since I did it.

Yes, I clicked on it and went straight to Sky News

If the hyperlink has been posted properly, with the full address, it should show in blue when you preview. That way you know it is active.

And mine

Blue on my iPad too.

Links are blue on my iPad.

it looks like you have got a problem @ElderlyPerson. maybe your firewall/anti virus/ software has disabled links for you.

I'm on a computer where links are shown in blue and are fairly clear.
