Is there some valid reason for making links within posts invisible?
By which I mean that they're formatted by the boards' styling to look exactly like all the rest of the text. Unless the link is published as the entire URL (i.e. https://blahblahblah.com/blahblah.html) then there's no visual indication that any given word or phrase might be a hyperlink.
It's a poor design decision from the point of view of usability. Hyperlinking is at the very core of the internet, and making links harder to find is a bad idea.

Yup, agreed :(
I always enclose mine with "u" tags, so at least they look like proper links, eg
[u][url=xxx]link text[/url][/u]
It's okay to type that on a full-sized keyboard, but has far too many hoops to jump through on a tablet or phone o_o

I agree, it's annoying. I circumvent it by encapsulating links in bold or teal-colored markers.

Just use the color tabs... its been like this for years and years.

This feels that it should be an easier config setting within the SMF admin interface, and at its most complex a couple of lines of CSS to update the colour for links (and probably those lines exist already as the default is to use a different colour for links, so it’s just the colour values that need changing away from Black)

Yes, it's a bit of work, but I always colour (navy) and underline my links here.
Would be nice if it were the same as links most everywhere online and highlighted by default.
