bob.dino 0 #51 March 22, 2006 QuoteNice new markup look on the keywords Willem! It's a start, though it still masks existing links. The word should not be linked as an ad if it's already part of a link to somewhere else. This means that links to, say, comparative reviews of containers will not be masked by advertisements. And it'd be nice if TA's suggestion that Premier Members didn't see the links was implemented. edit: Yeah, it's selfish on my part, but it's also a way to increase uptake of premier memberships. I've been playing with the colours for the new less-obtrusive links and I like them, especially the roll-over grey. Looks nice & understated. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ernokaikkonen 0 #52 March 23, 2006 I really, really, don't like this keyword linking stuff. That's all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
