Ok, and you don't see the problem with these two lines?

  1. a:visited { text-decoration: none line-through; color: #000000 }
  2. a:hover { text-decoration: none line-through; color: #000000}

Try comparing to the previous two lines.

hello Vaska,
I ve changed it now to that:

a:link { text-decoration: none; color: #000000}
a:active { text-decoration: none; color: #000000}
a:visited { text-decoration: line-through; color: #000000 }
a:hover { text-decoration: line-through; color: #000000}

does this sound better?
I had it like this before, but its still not changing.

thanks so much fo you spending you time to help strange peaople all over the world

You are changing the wrong stylesheet...read the links in red in Useful Threads.

jolanda / 2009-12-09 10:34:59   

I have read it. But I am quite sure that I am changing the right stylesheet. I have copied the sample folder and named it "Jolanda" and changed the style.css sheet. Or should I do anything with the ie.css sheet?
And I am working in advance mode anchanged the theme to Jolanda.

Some thinks things which I have changed in this sheet already work, like the font, background colour and fontsize.

But now I just cant change anything.
greetings from cold germnany

No, you aren't - I looked and you are not.

jolanda / 2009-12-09 10:45:17   

You see that I dont have choosen the theme Jolanda?
But I checked it again and I have choosed "jolanda" and the advanced mode.

If I choose Eatock things change, and the font is the original verdana again and not the courier.

Vaska A / 2009-12-09 10:46:21   

And the changes are not there. Therefore, you are not making changes to the right style.css file (on the server).

jolanda / 2009-12-09 10:57:46   

I have got it!!!
I realized that I had created a bunch of "Jolanda" folders on the server, and maybe he got confused, now I have deleted them all and it works now.

nice music on vaska lastfm ;)
