Whenever we post an article from an outside source to our forum, http://woodlifepeople.lefora.com/forum/ , we strive to keep all reference and links to the author intact. However, lately all the links have been invisible, and the only way to see them is to highlight the empty space where they should be.
Any thoughts? Is it the color scheme of our forum which is doing this? Is there a way to change the color of the link font, so that they will be visible....I ask this because we are quite happy with the background theme we chose for our forum.
it's possibly the color scheme of your forum and the color of the copied text. I recommend copying the text into a plain text editor first, like notepad. Then copy the text out of notepad and paste it into your forum so it follows the color scheme of your forum.
The theme looks like a modified version of one of mine... unfortunately whoever changed it forgot to change the colour of the links too...

Hi,
It is one of yours, Camo Theme 3. I'll try the advice about copying to Notepad 1st, then try changing the color of the link font.
Thanks for the replies.
I copied a post to notepad, then tried to edit the original. I can neither delete or backspace the old text in order to clear the post. I could just delete the entire post, but that would involve saving the many pictures in the posts, which I'm trying to avoid.
when editing a post, there is a current but that you have to type something (like a space or a letter), before you can delete text from it. Sorry for the inconvenience. S if you click edit, just type a word in the post, then you'll be able to delete anything you want.

Edited for clarity. 
I appreciate everyone's attempts at helping me beat this issue, but I must be missing a step or something.
I copied the text into notepad, before deleting the original in the post. Since notepad does not copy links inserted in text, after copying/pasting from there to my post, I had to use your insert link feature. I crossed my fingers and clicked Save, and I'm back to square one...Text with links inserted is invisible, unless I highlight it.
If someone could have a look at my page source, and tell me if there's a specific background color code I need to change, it would be appreciated.
The post I first noted my problem in is http://woodlifepeople.lefora.com/2009/07/02/make-an-oil-lamp/page1/ , but there are others. Once I know what to do, I can spend some time fixing up the whole forum.
Look for the following code in your css :
If it isn't in there you can add it at the end. Change #FFFFFF to a more suitable colour.
