Just a note... I sometimes find it hard to recognize links in messages, because they're dark grey-blue links on light grey-blue backgrounds (as opposed to black text on light grey blue backgrounds).
Eug: if you dont like the color scheme, then change it. goto START SETTINGS CONTROL PANEL INTERNET OPTIONS at the bottom of the general tab there is a button labeled "colors" click on it and you will get a box where you can change the colors of the links to something that contrasts more. you will want to change the "unvisited links" color to something besides the default blue.
I'm trying to change this on the board's end so that it will be easier to read them. You'll notice a change when I have it fixed.
