I must not be seeing right. Been looking at the chrome overlay and can't find it.
In the posts links turn blue on hover, but otherwise is text color and I want to fix that.
See https://forum.highdesertdirt.c.....accidents/
Thanks!

What is it you actually want to change? And what to?

I want to change the link color form the text color to something different so that the link stands out.
And I'd also like to change the color of a VISITED link, if possible.
For example, the link in my forum post is ORANGE in my previous post.

Do you use a child theme for your forum?

Yes, got the reboot child theme.

Great. So in your child theme there should be a file named 'reboot-child.css' in the /styles folder.
Add the following rules:
#spMainContainer a:link,
#spMainContainer a:active,
#spMainContainer .spLink:link,
#spMainContainer .spLink:active {
color: #XXXXXX;
}
#spMainContainer a:visited,
#spMainContainer .spLink:visited {
color: #XXXXXX;
#spMainContainer a:hover,
#spMainContainer .spLink:hover {
color: #XXXXXX;
}
but changing the XXXXXX's for the colours you want to use.
before testing remember to (1) clear your browser cache and (2) go to the forum admin > toolbox > housekeeping and run the tool to 'Reset combined CSS cache'.
Let's see if that does the trick.
By the way, I assume you ARE using the child theme? If not you need to select that as your active theme.

Thanks, I feel like it should be working now, but it doesn't. So here is what I got, and I added a closing bracket for the visiting link:
The child theme IS active, I did the housekeeping cache clearing and in Chrome, but I don't get any colors.
Oddly, when you hover over the links, they've always been blue. Where does that come from? (I didn't do it.)

So I've changed the overlay to light blue and now the links are blue by default.

Still trying to figure this out.
Why is Overlay listed when editing themes, but there's no file?
Offline
first, the last question... remember, you are editing the current theme... this is your reboot child theme... have you added any overlays to the child theme? Looks like not, which is why none are listed...
if you want to edit the parent theme (reboot) overlays, you would have to make the parent theme active and then edit its overlays.. or you could copy the overlay from the parent to your child and make whatever edits your wanted while the child theme is active..
Not sure what is happening or what you want... what links to you want to change? the ones in the post content? guessing so but want to be sure... Not sure the css Andy gave you will work for post content since there is a more specific selector for them... try this:
#spMainContainer .spTopicPostSection .spPostSection .spPostContentSection .spPostContent a:link,
#spMainContainer .spTopicPostSection .spPostSection .spPostContentSection .spPostContent a:active,
#spMainContainer .spTopicPostSection .spPostSection .spPostContentSection .spPostContent a:visited {
color: #000099;
}
#spMainContainer .spTopicPostSection .spPostSection .spPostContentSection .spPostContent a:hover {
color: #ff0000;
}
and see if that helps...
If you meant other links and I misunderstood, please clarify... also please note with your css if it selects the right links, you will get dark blue for links, light blue if you have previously visited the link and red when you hover over it...
