Internet Explorer not marking visited links.

Monkeyman1138 · 03-23-2008, 10:21 AM

So yesterday, I was using Internet Explorer when I noticed that visited links were no longer being recolored to indicate I'd visited them (which is odd, because it had been recoloring them earlier on that day, in the same window that I was currently browsing in) I tried restarting my computer, clearing my Temporary Internet Files, but nothing has worked. What could the problem be? I am using Windows Vista and IE7Pro if that helps.

Hello and welcome to TSF

Open up IE, on the menu bar click Tools => Internet Options, under appearnce click Colors, untick Use windows colours click on the colour box next to Visted and select a colour you want. Click Ok

Still doesn't work, and it was working previously without unticking "use Windows Colors".

Thanks, I had previously tried clearing the cache but that didn't work. Anyway for some reason the problem has now suddenly stopped occuring, not sure why. Sorry about the BUMPing earlier was just a bit worried about the problem.

No problems about the bumping :)

I will leave this thread open for a few more days to see if you get the problem again or not. If you do post back, also if it works fine please also post back saying

thanks

OK, now the problem is happening again, right after I installed the new Vista Service Pack. So aggravating, I cleared my cache again too, but it's still happening.
