For a few weeks and for AM only (I guess), links in "boxes" on the right (nodelets they are called?) that have been already visited are now rendered as invisible text. I'm not too good with HTML/CSS to know why. Seen in different browsers/OSes/platforms. Maybe not very important and affects despicable AMs only, but still kind of broken window perspective.

Also, I have put "boxes" into quotes above, they used to be nice clean boxes with strict lines to serve as borders, now without these lines it's amorphous pile with huge gaps of invisible text, but I understand that march of modernity/design is unstoppable, this latter complaint is just imho.

    I can confirm seeing this effect in mobile chrome after switching to a domain where I'm locked out.¹

    The links are still there but seem to have the background color as foreground after a visit.

    I suppose it's related to the :visited CSS pseudo class, but I'm not able to find a patch related to it.

    Can you narrow down when this started?

    ¹) e.g. try any other of the six combinations of (www\.)?perlmonks\.(com|net|org) as domain

      I think PM snapshots of Feb. the 5th and 17th on https://archive.org/web/ are clearly different.

        Excellent, thanks.

        I'll try to have a look into the HTML/CSS in a desktop browser next week and try to narrow this down. I'm AFK now.

        Official patches¹ don't seem to touch any CSS, but the (side)ways of the gods are mysterious. ;)

        Probably jdporter will show up in the meantime and already know what happened. :)
