From irc.tilde.chat/#guru:

1629408100	rattlesnake	My complaint of the day is: Links are barely discernable from regular text on tilde.guru.
1629408140>	rattlesnake	One way to fix this somewhat would be to underline them, which should be done anyway.
1629408276	login	They want us to not know where the links are!
1629408327	rattlesnake	Who are they, though?
1629408340	rattlesnake	Also, I mean, I have ways to find those links nonetheless.
1629408350	rattlesnake	But users, normal people…
1629408370	login	the one who wrote the css
1629408389	rattlesnake	tildeverse.org underlines links as well, which is about the only sane part of that site's styling, IMHO.
1629408433	rattlesnake	login: I assume good faith.
1629408493	login	i can look into why the underline doesn't show
1629408526	rattlesnake	It's because of 'text-decoration:none;'.
1629408533	rattlesnake	I've already looked at the style sheet.
1629408845	login	so does it look deliberate
1629408921	rattlesnake	Well, you generally have to make underlining for links disappear because underlining is the default.
1629409052	login	no, what i mean is that maybe the combination of css rules might have made links disappear without direct intention
1629409111	rattlesnake	Okay, in that sense, it looks deliberate.
1629409273	rattlesnake	Anyway, I gotta call it a day.
1629409281	rattlesnake	Have a nice chat, everyone.
1629409284	*	rattlesnake is off.

I second this. The chosen link colour is barely different from the default text colour. Links should be easily identifyable for colour-blind readers and in monochrome environments.
