I was wondering if anyone knew why some links are dark blue and some links are light blue in the listing of names while in the different sections of the Classmate Profiles page? Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

Mike

Those color differences are a standard way, ever since the internet began to be available in color, of indicating which links you have previously visited and which you have not. Typically the lighter blue links are ones you have not yet visited.

Thanks Eric. I forgot about the visited state of the link. I guess I was expecting to see the visited as purple or something. They are pretty close in blues.

It can vary depending on the browser you're using, and the settings in the browser, and the webpage author can set it as well, but I don't think we bother styling visited links so the fallback setting is your browser's default.
