Hello

CSS Example:

/* thread links: */
a.thread expanded,
a.thread expanded:link { padding-left:18px; color:navey; text-decoration:none; font-weight:bold; background:url(images/bg_sprite_1.png) no-repeat 0 -148px; }
a.thread expanded:visited { color:green; }
a.thread expanded:hover { color:#0000ff; text-decoration:underline; }
a.thread expanded:active { color:#ff0000; }
...

Everything works here except for the visited links. It doesn't matter what I set the color values at (hex color or otherwise), the visited links on my forum remain the standard purple.

Your notation seems to be correct. IMHO it is a problem with some redirects in the script. If you request i.e. 6314 from the main page (it is Mathias's answer to your question) into another browser tab the CSS rule should work in the main page. If you reload the page with the refresh link all postings are unreaded for the browser. There seems to be anything broken in the script.

Tschö, Auge
