For some reason Windows on my computer stopped changing the colors of links and thread titles that Ive clicked on like it always normally did until last night. Usually it would turn the blue links/titles to purple and the black ones to gray but now they dont change. I just downloaded Internet Explorer 9 and its still the same. ---
