  Hey guys!

  I was just wondering if anyone knew a CSS edit I could use with my website: http://alternativemagazineonline.co.uk/

  I bascially want links to stay blue even when clicked, rather then turning to black haphazardly?

  Any help is much appreciated!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  You might want to change the colour, but otherwise this code should work:

  a:visited {color:#1873A1;}

  Thanks that kinda works, it leaves a slightly darker blue though? Any idea the correct colour code?

  It also only worked with links etc, not headings?

  lol … you only asked about Links. You didn’t ask about headings.

  There’s a free site you can use to check cross browser compatibility so you know what your readers are seeing. browsershots.org (insert the http:// to make the link clickable.

  Use this instead:

  a:visited {color:#1C9BDC;}

  If you want your post headings to stay the original colour, black, then use this code:

  .post h2 a:visited {color:#000000;}

  Sorry! I thought of heading as links but it seems common sense then they are seperate now I think about it!

  @hallluke

  Thanks that worked perfectly, I really appreciate that. These forums never let me down!
