On Google Chrome, etc. the links are not underlined(on Black and Gold) in the same color as the link. But, on IE8 they are. Why is this? I'm just curious and sometimes it drives me insane. :P

Cross browser problems. Most likely, the theme was made to work with IE, then fixed to work on FF, maybe S, and so now it has to be fixed to work with GC. But thats just a guess.

They are the same color for me on Chrome.... Maybe its something in your UserCP.

I think it is just how the browsers display certain webpages. I don't think its a problem but more intentional....kinda

All browsers have a certain way they interpret HTML (some browsers actually share the base code used to interpret it though I'd have to go look it up to see exactly which ones...)

Regardless, all browsers will likely display things in certain ways. I've had huge examples of this in my coding endeavors, and have learned more than once just how much of a -pain- it can be to get certain things looking the same throughout all browsers.

I.E. 8's default "link" property is probably set to be underlined, but in Google Chrome one would have to specifically say "style:underline" for links (I have no idea how CSS works any more... been a year since I really used it =p) in the CSS document.

I think some browsers actually have ways to change how links are displayed in a default way in their options... no idea about IE8 though because I don't use it.
