Mysterious CSS and I can't find the source

    I have a development site and have an issue with my links. They are regular when they have not been clicked. They go bold when you hover and on any visited links.

    I do not want them going bold at all, but for the life of me, can’t figure out where and in what stylesheet its inheriting that behavior from.

    If anyone has the time and inclination to help me solve this mystery, I would really appreciate it. The site is at: https://bellingham.org.customers.tigertech.net

    i can’t really reproduce what you describe.
    (definitevely not within the two top navs)

    can you be more specific?

    – which links?

    – in which browser are you experiencing this phenomenon?

    I am in Firefox 3.6.13 right now.

    Not the main navigation links (so not “Become a Member”, etc up there).

    Look at anything else, such as:

    (Right Column)
    View Online
    Order a Copy
    Enter our contest and WIN prizes! ?
    All of the links under “Upcoming Events”

    Down a bit in the main content area, all of the links under “Getting Around”, the blog titles under “Bellingham Blog”…

    Basically all of the text links.

    in style.css of your theme, this might be the cause:

    .twoColFixRtHdr #footer a:link, a:visited, a:hover {
	color:#FFF;
	text-decoration:none;
	font-weight:bold;
}

    maybe follow the theme author’s initial intention and change to:

    .twoColFixRtHdr #footer a:link, .twoColFixRtHdr #footer a:visited, .twoColFixRtHdr #footer a:hover {
	color:#FFF;
	text-decoration:none;
	font-weight:bold;
}

    btw:
    if you are working in firefox anyway, why not try and get used to applying firebug or the web developer add-on to check your css and html?

    Good call on FireBug. I have it installed, but haven’t used it much that I know what to do with it.

    Thank you SO MUCH for catching that!!! That was where it was coming from. I have spent hours looking at all of the CSS for my theme and all the plugins and never caught it. I really appreciate you taking the time to look it over for me and help me. ??
