I don't know about you guys, but I have a difficult time telling the difference between the blue text of an un-viewed question and the slightly lighter blue text of a viewed one.

Should I just pay more attention, or would there be a better color scheme to help show which questions you've looked at already?

Perhaps a grey color would be easier to make out than the lighter blue.

Here is what things look like for me:

They all kind of blend together.

  • The answer is to create a custom CSS tag. How you'd actually go about doing so is well beyond my understanding or capability.

  • Your monitor might have messed-up color settings; viewed questions are quite a bit lighter for me

You need to create add some custom CSS for the site.

This can usually be done with a browser extension: Stylebot for Chrome, Stylish for Firefox. Google around for your browser of choice.

I think you need to add the following rule (adjust the colour to your preference):

.question-hyperlink:visited {
    color: #bbb !important;
}

This recolours any links to a question that you’ve already visited in a very light shade of grey.

Here’s what that looks like in my browser:

If you wanted, you could choose an even lighter shade of grey to make them fade away even more.

  • This may sort-of clash with the ignored tags (if you've set ignored tags to be 'greyed-out' instead of 'hidden').

  • @Mooz You can change the bbb to any color you want using the codes generated here. For example, 00FF22 for bright green. (bbb means the same as bbbbbb, upper/lowercase doesn't matter)
