If anyone knows why the links I posted are two different colors, would you let this techno idiot know?
I take it you mean the links in post 59. They're not a different color. I see them both as red. If I click on the first one and then return to this page, I will see the first one as blue and the second one as red. If I click on the second one next, then return to this page, they will both look blue.
That's because the colors for un-followed (unclicked) links in a browser are different than the colors for followed links. You can use HTML to define what the followed/unfollowed colors are, or you can let the browser defaults determine it.
