Isn't it a shame that sarcasm is lost on so many! It's definitely my favourite type of humour.

This is a quick fix and doesn't involve using the Reboot child theme at all. You don't have to run it, but it might be worth hanging on to in case you want to make any forum changes in the future.

Open your WP themes style.css, either in the WP theme editor or in OSX editor whichever you prefer.

At the bottom of style.php you have the choice of adding any or all 3 of these rules:

#spRecentPostsTag .spLinkTag {
    color: blue;
}

#spRecentPostsTag .spLinkTag:hover {
    color: green;
}

#spRecentPostsTag .spLinkTag:visited {
    color: red;
}

#spRecentPostsTag .spLinkTag:visited:hover {
    color: yellow;
}
  • The first is in it's default state.
  • The second is when the cursor hovers over.
  • The third is after it's been clicked.
  • The fourth is when the cursor hovers over a visited link.

Of course you can change the colours to suit your theme using HTML hex colours.

Unfortunately, the forum links themselves underneath the topic link also use the same class, so if you or anyone uses the recent post list to jump to the forum instead of the topic, the forum name will show up as being recently clicked too. I've had a look at the function and can't figure out any way of getting around that without removing the forum line completely - unless Andy or Steve know of a way.

That should do the trick!
