Did the handling of HTML link colors change? Empty Did the handling of HTML link colors change?

Greetings,

As of today I recognized a different behaviour to handle HTML link colors. The links in the post bodies won't get overidden with the '[color]' tags anymore, whereas it still works in signatures, like seen in this link:

http://guild.forumtwilight.com/message-board-f1/letter-from-the-game-director-october-2009-t54.htm

The link inside the message bodies is white, which is the default color defined on this forum, whereas the link in signature adapted to the cyan color.

The code used for the link is:

Code:

You could name your links & color them...
(which would give your threads/links a cleaner appearance)

Example link: *Full Article

Code:
[url=http://forums-eu.ageofconan.com/showthread.php?t=136202][color=Red]*Full Article[/color][/url]

Yes this works, but this is definitely a change that occured since the update.

Before I had full URLs displaying in the body and got them colored as I wished and this won't work anymore. I guess I will ask my members to rename their link displays now, so that they may get them colored again.

So to summarize:

Code:
[url=http://forums-eu.ageofconan.com/showthread.php?t=136202][color=cyan]http://forums-eu.ageofconan.com/showthread.php?t=136202[/color][/url]

doesn't work anymore (full URL in display name), but

Code:
[url=http://forums-eu.ageofconan.com/showthread.php?t=136202][color=cyan]forums-eu.ageofconan.com/showthread.php?t=136202[/color][/url]

does (without the 'http://' here).

To add: To make the color override take, the display name cannot resemble anything that clearly identifies a URL, so even:

Code:
[url=http://www.google.com][color=cyan]www.google.com[/color][/url]

won't work anymore.

Whether it stays this way or not is probably a different story.
