Not purple anymore

After I have visited a thread it used to show up purple instead of blue on the board.

It doesn't any longer. Is this something I might have changed by accident and if so, how do I get it back?

Hi there, this is something I very much should know the answer to and yet my mind seems to have deleted it. Finding out for you...

Do you mean the links?

If so then possibly
either:
you have recently done a system 'clean' that has reset everything, web links, cookies etc
or:
you have changed your web browser options to no longer colour links

Hi OP,

can you take a look at the above post and let us know if you have changed browsers or cleared your cache recently? Could you also let us know if you are using private browsing to access the site?

This is on my phone and I have not changed browsers.

I don't think I have cleared my cache. But if I had, surely that would only affect threads I had visited before I cleared it? But the fact I have visited a thread doesn't show up at all even now when I have just visited.

What is private browsing?

Hi OP

What browser are you using?

Visited links are generally a browser-related issue. We're happy to try and find a solution for you but we'd need to know what you are using to access the site - both device and browser!

I am using a android phone and my browser is Chrome. Until the last few weeks it certainly did colour visited links differently. When I log in on my laptop using Chrome I still get visited links in purple

Got it!
There was something in browser settings that said "Open in browser app" which had got turned on. When I set that off all was as it should be.

Thanks for your time.
