I saw upthread that this issue was already brought to your attention, and I've noticed that some posts now show hyperlinks underlined in blue.
But there are still posts where the hyperlinks are indistinguishable from the regular text.
Example: in this thread's wiki there are 10 embedded links:
FCO to Rome transportation options
Will this be remedied? Or am I supposed to go back through all of my posts and change the formatting of the hyperlinks myself?
(I have only read through the first several pages of this thread, so maybe you've already addressed this in subsequent posts. If so, perhaps someone can please post a link to that reply?)

Any large website should have someone on-call 24/7 to deal not just with issues from changes but also emergencies.

Thanks for (re)pointing this out. I am slowly and steadily building up a tampermonkey script to get FT back into a usable state for me and this one had escaped my notice.
What other color changes would be good?

Absolutely awful!
it is now seemingly impossible to use with an iPhone.
Editing posts is impossible and viewing a post is a game of cat and mouse with adverts obscuring text.
please make it usable again!

As much as some of y'all hate the changes, I really think it's quite a stretch to say that anything that's been brought up is an emergency.
And it is literally some paint and topical stuff that should be easily remedied.

I think it's entirely valid to point out that we don't pay for this.
At the same time, depending how long something has been on FT etc there is a sense of community, people may feel different levels of attachment and so on, such that there is frictional cost you leaving and finding another similar environment. So I think it's also valid for people to be annoyed.
Plus, viewed another way, if the whole Web 2.0 thing means the users are the product, being sold to advertisers, then it behooves FT to keep its livestock happy...

So, I've looked thru the last 5-6 pages, but didn't see an answer- is there a way (yet) to reduce the font size? I feel like I stepped into the "LARGE SIZE TEXT" version of FT (and it's much less readable as a result) ...!
