"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Why don't followed links change color?

Guys,

When I click a link to a thread, then go back, I can't see any change in the color of the followed link to indicate that I've been there.

Can't you put some code in that will change the color of followed links?

Thanks
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

That's a browser (IE, your end) problem. There's color defined for already visited links:

Originally pulled from the Forums' Source Code: (emphasis added)
<body bgcolor="#6699CC" text="#000000" id="all" leftmargin="10" topmargin="20" marginwidth="10" marginheight="10" link="#000020" vlink="#070074" alink="#000020">
If you use IE, go to Tools » Internet Options » Accessibility and see what's checked (nothing should be).

Hope that helps.

Wait, do you click a link, then click "back?" If so, that's the reason it doesn't change color. When you click "back," it's like you never were on the page before.
