André, please make things back to how they were. Not the shop layout, I love the shop layout. But already visited links turning [black](http://www.yoyoexpert.com) is really not a good idea. It looks terrible and it makes a [link](http://www.yoyoexpert.com) blend in with the rest of any post. There’s two links in this post, but you won’t see them because they are black.

I agree. Please use some other color than black.

Another issue is you cannot see the page number within threads.

I would recommend making the links turn purple, like everywhere else on the internet.

Haha no he changed the coloring.

I think it should be another color actually. Helps me out at least. But yes black has its problems. Maybe blue? Just throwing something out there. Maybe hoping for a “fish” to catch my “line” 😛

I think it should just go back to the way it was before. No color changing, nothing. The “new” thing is enough for me to know if I read a topic already or not.

I actually like the black links because of the above, its easy to tell where the new posts are.

But I agree with mongoriller, I’d like it even better if it was purple.
