Untill the new "layout" of the website, the titles of topics, and all links on GAIA for the most part, were bolded, and after you clicked them, they went gray. I want to bring this back.

If you are not thinking clearly, you may find yourself asking "Why is this a good thing?" Well sir or maddam, I will tell you why. GAIA Staff should bring back the gray topic links because it is easer to tell which threads you have been to and which ones you still have not read. Nothing is more annoying than reading the same topic over and over again because some n00b keeps changing to topic, or you just forget what you read yesterday.

Spacifics of Idea
Before the latest website layout update, links (sutch as thread topics and in-sig links to other websites or other places in GAIA) used to change gray after you clicked them once. (Gray for Firefox, other colors for different browsers like IE if I am not mistaken) Currently, links stay the same color no matter how many times you click on them, making navigation through the Fourms and guilds a pain if you want to read all the threads (As the case is for Poll and Art Whores, Admins and Fourm Helpers, etc.) All I ask is that the links be restored to their former golory.

These pictures are screen caps from many moons ago. This is how I want the links to become once again.

Unclicked Links:

Clicked Links:

faldette

This is one of the things that has bothered me the most about the new layout. It doesn't have to be bold, but having a different color for links you've already visited is always nice.

Same here, and very true

Meredisu-chan

This is the only thing about the new layout that really bothers me. I don't particularly care how the new site design looks, but taking away the gray link feature makes it very difficult to navigate in a forum.

I kinda agree, I can live with layout changes, so long as they keep the fourm formats the same! gonk

Elfgiva

I definitely sign! This isn't just to benefit poll whores!

Right, art whores need to know wich shops they have been to too! mrgreen

Signers of Petiton:
FYI, I'm not going to put up your little pictures for signing, they take up too much space. Don't get me wrong, I think they are very great and creative. Also, don't PM me about this petiton saying "I sign," cause that is annoying. Thank you all once again. ^-^

UPDATE 6!!!
YAY! I found a way to fix the links! So, I'm not going to update any more... sry guys.
Check out "Fix it yourself" for more info!

UPDATE 5!!!
My internet went out for a couple of days, but don't worry, everything is back up to date.
____________

UPDATE 4!!!
I am home finaly! YAY! I had a very good time with my father, but it is time to be home... *sigh* but school starts soon. *stabs self in the leg*
____________

UPDATE 3!!!
Apparently, Tinyurl is messed up right now;. I'm not gonna fix the banner right now, but I will wait and see if it fixes itself tomorrow.
It works again!
-edit-
Need a Job is now up, come and help me out if you need the money!
____________

UPDATE 2!!!
As it transpires, the place where I am staying does in fact have internet, so I will probably update signitures either nightly or bi-nightly. We have lots of affiliates, and I hope you visit each one, cause they all rock! Thanks again for signing this, hopefuly we will be able to see our poll whore progress again soon! ^-^

-edit-
I also re-ordered the links so that it would look better. (They are in decending order, from smallest banner size to largest.)
____________

UPDATE 1!!!
I am signing off now, for the time. I will see you all in August. Thank you all for signing, and I hope many more of you do when I return. Guess what? We just got our fiftyith sign! YAY! Also, tinyurl dosnt feel like working right now, so for those of you with the banner somewhere, the link dosn't work. Don't worry though, I'm about to place the "normal" link there, so you can copy paste the new, working version to wherever. Kthxbai! ^-^
____________

Lately, I have been working during the day and getting home in the afternoon, not having time to post during the morning and before 3 pm. Anyway, going out of town on the 23rd, and not comming back till the fifth, and I will have very limited internet access during that time.

Need a Job?

As of right now, I will start hireing people to do work for me. I am kind of a tough boss, but hey, if you need gold, I'm here for you. The following items are the jobs currently available:

BUMPING-
For each 10 bumps, I'll give you 100 gold. Yes people, it does add up if you think about it.

MAKE BANNERS-
For each banner that is made for support of this petiton, I will pay the creator 500 gold, if the artsmanship respectable. I'm paying for quality with spirit, not for a hastey half a** job.

If you take a job, PM me when you start and when you finish, because I will not know what you have done otherwise, and therefor will not pay you.
(ATTN: Link and Rai; PM me about y'all's work and I will pay you!)

Not hireing anymore, sry.

Fix It Yourself!
http://www.gaiaonline.com/guilds/viewtopic.php?t=3829287
This link should explain everything! YAY!!!!
I have been informed that link no longer functions. Here is an expenlation on how to get your gray links back:

Key The Thief

These are the steps.

-- This only works on FireFox so far. Download FireFox.

-- Go here

-- Click 'install'

-- Follow ALL INSTALL RULES.

-- Restart FireFox.

-- When you open FireFox again, there should be a little paper and paintbrush icon in the bottom right hand corner of the window (above the task bar, if the task bar is on the bottom of the screen.)

-- BEFORE YOU CLICK IT, MAKE SURE YOU'RE ON THE GAIA ONLINE HOMEPAGE.

-- Click it.

-- Click 'Create Style for this URL' on the little dealie than comes up.

-- Name it something obvious (IE 'Gaia Grey Links' or something. I called mine 'Gaia whut')

-- Paste the following in the field:

@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);

@-moz-document domain("gaiaonline.com" wink {

/* Use the old colors for thread titles on forum pages (you know, viewforum.php..)
I should either change it to what guilds use now, or force it to be used in guilds... */
.topictitle {
color: rgb(0, 0, 0) !important;
}
a.topictitle:hover {
color: rgb(221, 105, 0) !important;
}
a.topictitle:link {
color: rgb(84, 147, 180) !important;
}
a.topictitle:visited {
color: rgb(137, 151, 161) !important;
}

}

(note: this also makes the avatars in the upper-right corner of the page normal-sized. This is a good thing.)

-- Be sure to tic the little box that says 'Enabled'

-- It should work now. All links to threads on Gaia you click on will now turn grey.
