Before I start, may I just express on how grateful I, and I'm sure everyone else, am for FuSoYa creating this website, and all the help available. There is no charge for this, and I am really thankful that people on these board give up there time to help people like me. I really appreciate all your efforts, no matter if they are right or wrong. Thanks so much guys

Now, on to my problem

On my forums, in my topics and posts. We can not distinguish normal text from links. Because of this, you have to "guess" where the link is, as it only highlighs/underlines itself when you hover over the link. This means that the majority of the time, unless you scroll your mouse round the post, you can not find links.

Is there a way to change this?

This would be in your stylesheet.  Go into the ACP -> Look & Feel -> Skin Manager.  Click the options button, then click Edit Stylesheet (CSS Advanced).  You're going to want to look for something like this:

CODE

/*
* ========================================
* global hyperlink styles
* ========================================
*/

a:link,
a:visited,
a:active{
    background: transparent;
    color: #222;
    text-decoration: underline;
}

a:hover{
    background: transparent;
    color: #7B5806;
}

This is copied out of the stylesheet for my Arobase skin here.  The two sections there are for different aspects of the hyperlinks, whether you're hovering your mouse over it (the a:hover part) or not.  Try and find this section of your stylesheet and change the values there accordingly.  Underlining is the most important thing to do, as that's the standard thing people look for when finding links.  Coloring is important as well.  Let me know if you have questions on this.

Glad to hear how much you like the work we do here.

Yup, that's the right section.  You'll want to change the text-decoration: none; there to text-decoration: underline; if you want to have your links be underlined, and then change the #666666 to some other hex color value to change the color.  Here is a pretty good chart of hex colors if you need help with that.
