XF 2.2 Change link colour when posting web links?

[Alvin63]

Which part of the colour section in ACP is to change the link colour please? Eg if pasting a website link as a url and then giving it a name. At the moment mine don't stand out so need to change the colour.

In the ACP, search for "link color" or go to Appearance -> Style properties -> Basic colors and find the "Link color" entry.

Dur! Thank you - that was so obvious! I was busy looking at the long list of colours under "Colour palette"

Aargh - that;s also changed the report and edit colours at the bottom of posts and some other colours too. Any way of specifically changing it just for pasted links?

add this to your extra.less template:

.link--external {
    color: #ff0000;
}

This will only change the color of external links (to red in my example code). So, a link to another thread on your forum, for example, will still have the default link color.
