Correct, the in-text links used to be grey/lighter grey.

I like the blue for links in the body of a question or answer. It wasn't always this way, right?

Big bonus: I can now tell what I have and haven't clicked on. In particular, I can now tell which user profiles I have and have not looked at, which is great.

Really don't like it. Hurts the eyes and does not match the other colours.

How about just having a line somewhere where a newcomer will see it saying something like "Click on the questions for more detail." Or something along those lines. I have to agree with some of the other, I liked it better the way it was, but I'm sure I can get used to this ;)

Maybe style it differently for people who are and aren't logged in?

they hurt my eyes...:p I think it would be better to have a lighter blue. and I agree with Kevin that they really don't match with other colors.

@Anton "it's non-intuitive to click on the question title to get to the question"
Yeah, it might be true for the first timer, but everyone knows it just by one click...

Honestly, I liked how it looked before better. "The old ways are best!"

I don't like it either. I don't remember now, but didn't the question title change color on mouse over? That should be enough to indicate that it is indeed a link.

I don't like it! The blue doesn't match well with the red/green. But maybe I just need to get used to it a bit.

I think something needs to be hot pink.

The purple did look better when I was testing it. I wanted to just make it a lighter, more washed-out blue, but that looks too much like the question has an ignored tag. I'll try out a blue-green. Edit: I like the blue-green better; I'll go with that.

=( I'm alright with the blue, but the purple feels too purple. Couldn't you do a blue-green type of color?

Yes, they're blue on purpose. Perhaps I should have given some warning, but I figured people would make a stink about any kind of change. When I was recently introducing somebody to MO (in person), I realized that it's non-intuitive to click on the question title to get to the question (at least on the questions page ... on the home page it's clearer). So I figured it'd be good to make the question titles bluer (the universal color of links). I tried not to make them too blue. Other things that are links should also be dark blue. Links to pages you've visited are purple.

I rather like the blue.

It appears so, mine has turned blue too!

The question titles (and many other things...) are blue on purpose?
