Details

Currently, Visited Links and not Visited Links appear in the same colors throughout the Arch Linux web site.
Once you click on a link in the site, there is not a clear way of knowing if you visited that link yet or not, unless you disable "allow sites to use own colors" in the browser settings, use your own CSS file and other unpleasant hacks.

I strongly suggests a modification in the lines of the digg.com color scheme, please see attached screen shot.
This will greatly improve navigation usability across the Arch Linux Web Site, and especially in the forums.
This task depends upon

I'm adding Simo to the assignees as its his CSS code and I don't think I have access to the forum code.

Simo: I agree this will make the site, forum, and wiki more usable; the only outstanding question is what colour to use for visited links.

Hi, I don't know whether to file a new bug for this, but could you test archlinux.org in Opera 9.51? The website looks incredibly ugly, because all fonts appear weird. I've also checked archlinux.de in Opera and it does not have the problem, neither does any other page I normally visit.

I'm gonna tag in Thayer on this too, since he's the "make it pretty" guy. Personally I'm not too keen on using different colors for visited links... but that's just my opinion.
