Thank you very much, I will read it pretty soon >> Because, if some links are marked visited, and some - even when read - are >> not, how does this play into game? > > That happens with exactly the same link, i.e. not anchors? If so, that sounds > like something which ought to be addressed independently. Yes, I think the same. Basically I am not very keen on changing link colors, but i am not really against it, if the colors look good. But I want to make sure, if we change the color, even when scrolling over a page with anchors the corresponding links are marked "visited". I have suggested to try the scrollspy for this: http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/javascript.html#scrollspy After done, I can accept it better. >> And for which kind of websites does this research apply on? > > The research was done on groups of red and blue words in isolation: think the > navigation menu extracted out of the web page. > > As such, it has broad application to just about all websites and also to > similar visual navigation systems. Well - what does that mean? We need a high contrast in visited/not? I am unsure about what you said on "all websites" - looking at Facebook, Google+, lots of blogs I read this seems not be common usus. I might be wrongt, but this is my impression. >> Have you read it? > > Sure, I've read it.

In prime time I study psychology and because of that this is very interesting to me also.

I agree, but think that we have bigger problems than the link colors. Duplicate navigation etc, have written my 2 cents in other threads around. > However, you're putting in all the time here, and to echo Ant Elder once > again, I don't want to get in your way. So: -0 on not differentiating visited > links. Oh no, I sounded to harsh. Actually it seems I work already to long on this task and should step back a little bit (too much emotions). You are definitely not getting in my way and I appreciate the competent feedback of which I can learn much. Please keep on doing that. I apologize if my wording gave you a bad feeling.
