In the following image, depicting a piece of a comment on MO.se
the words «this link» are a link to some URL, yet the styling makes it quite not apparent; the only styling I can see is a :hover {text-decoration:underline}
, as far as I can see. Could be add some visual reinforcement, so that links are more immediately obvious?
Update (after a few months year, to bump this up): I still cannot see links in comments :-(
New update, half a year later: I am sure that when the final design for this is finaaally deployed we will all be awed... but can we have good ol' blue&underlined links meanwhile or something?
