Underlined Links - TTLG Forums

Pope on 16/11/2001 at 07:09

seriously.. removing that style tag(s) for optimization reasons is extremely counter-productive.

you can create a non-underlined tag with the extremely lean line:

a { text-decoration: none }

but assuming you want more than that, you can simply put all your styles in an external style sheet and reference it from the header:

<link rel=stylesheet type="text/css" href="ttlgforums.css">

most browsers will cache a copy of that file and it won't even get downloaded on subsequent visits.

asking us to modify our browser's global settings to "reverse the process" on this one site is completely ridiculous and i think you should know that there are perfectly acceptable alternatives..

 Ok, that's twice in a week I've been called a bandwidth hog. People forget that this is the Nutshaus. Off-topic threads both serious and trivial belong here. We are chatting dude.

I visit here for the Comm Chat. Anyone who even remotely thinks about it being killed will feel boot prodding their kidneys...

They arent only getting rid of underlined links, most unnessecary things are going, which you probably wont see (as they are unnessecary <img src="wink.gif" border="0"> )

Every time you post off-topic, Baby Jesus cries.

Hey everyone, uhmmm... how shall I put this?

STFU!

Okay, just kidding <img src="wink.gif" border="0">

Please bear with us here... contrary to what some may think, this is not a conspiracy to fuck with you all and make your lives difficult. There is more to this whole thing than meets the eye of the general forum visitor, and not all changes are permanent or necessarily the final result. As you know, we are currently exploring various performance-raising (and bandwidth-reducing) avenues. So you can expect to see random changes here and there as we see what helps and what doesn't... Please be patient, as there are bound to be things which fall into the latter category, as well as things that folks just don't like. Invariably, some sacrifices will have to be made, but we will try to make it as painless as possible for all. Constructive feedback is helpful and encouraged, otherwise... shaddap. <img src="wink.gif" border="0">

At the risk of becoming the target of MsLedd's formidable wrath, I was wondering the same thing as Pope. How could a { text-decoration: none } hog bandwidth?

Hey, I'm only asking out of curiosity. I support any and all efforts to reduce bandwidth. Honestly!
