need css help for discussion links

leafboxtea

I want to change the color of the links only inside of the discussions themselves.

when I inspect element for the links using Firebug, I'm lead to this bit of code

a, a:link, a:visited, a:active { color: #000000;

I can't change that to the color I want, because it changes all the links throughout the site. I want to change only the links that are posted in comments. Right now, based on this code, they black, just like all the text. This is a major usability issue. What kind of code do I need to add to my theme (or wherever classes are defined) to isolate just the links inside the comments themselves?

You need to add in Custom file just after :
a,
a:link,
a:visited,
a:active {
color: #000000;

that :
.Message a, a:link, a:visited, a:active {
color: #color-you-like;
}




But that change all the "a" of comment:




so you need to add some infos :

.Meta a{
color: #same-color-of-"a=000000";
}




==>




And that:

.Buttons a{
color: #same-color-of-"a=000000";
}




==>




And change the color of link in div.Box, so you need to add after:
div.Box h4 {
color:#282828;
}

that:
div.Box a{
color: #same-color-of-"a=000000";
}





-------------
In code:
div => #
class => .
after the name of "location" (here:Message), and the "objet" (here:a)

May be not the most simple code but it works.

Sorry for my english. ^^

@lena - thank you! Your response was thorough and educating! I was able to set it up in short time and I learned something from your comments about how to figure out css code.

Thank you!
