Sarah, it's probably not blue because your browser knows you've already looked at it so it's changed to the color for followed links. Mine are kinda purple, but I'm not sure if that's my browser or a mudcat definition.

Joe do we need one or two slashes for the internal links, you show them both ways: href=/thread.cfm or href=//thread.cfm?

One slash - I screwed up the first time, then corrected one mistake and missed the other. Now it's completely correct. Typing display HTML is mind-boggling.
