If #webDesign people could please stop overriding the #hyperlink style to remove the underline, that'd be great. Great for #accessibility, to be precise.

Removing the underline makes hyperlinks hard to see, even if you have fully acute vision! I just saw a site where links are a deep reddish color, barely distinguishable from the black text. No underline. No other markings. Utter madness.

@argv_minus_one Don't worry, web designers that care about acessibility exist! There are dozens of us!

Nah, just mildly annoying. But still! Web devs need to stop doing that.

@argv_minus_one Hum… didn't think about this but yeah it makes sense, I'll keep that in mind from now on

@argv_minus_one I did this for a while on my site tbh. The contrast wasn’t *as bad* as what you mentioned here, but probably still not great w/o the underlines. I recently switched to underlines for links and am liking the way it looks so far—and hopefully it’s more accessible too!
