Go into Options, then General. Then Fonts and Colours (I think), and there's a tick box for 'Underline links'

I,ve only recently started to reply to threads & wondered why I seemed to be the only one whose name comes up in Small print & in black. I did do a contact to genes asking why BUT NO ANSWER from them. It does puzzle me. & I havent found anywhere on the site where its poss to change the colour!!! Shirley

Shirley Your name shows in black to you, because it's not a 'link'. My name appears black to me. Everyone's name appears black to themselves ! As for changing colour - there isn't a 'proper' way to do it. Someone discovered last yeat that you could do it with a bit of HTML code but the site didn't handle it well and all sorts of funny things happened, so it's best to leave things as they are I think ! paul

Thanks Mandy & Paul for the explanation. Thought I,d done something wrong & had been a DODO somehow.Would have been nice for the Genes site managers to have replied to my enquiry tho & told me it was ok, that how it works!!!! Thanks again Shirley
