Re^2: • What is this?

I for one would find some implementation of this useful. I currently achieve that affect by making sure I have visited the homenodes of Monks of interest, combined with a good colour scheme which differentiates visited and unvisited links I can find their nodes fairly easily. But it is very brittle and any of the following break it- if you visit a Monks homenode for some other reason, if you clear or loose your browser history, you work from multiple computers, browser history times out after a while (9 days is the default for Firefox).

... and I do it exactly the same way with that in my personal css: `a:visited {color: #008000;}` [download] With Opera you can define the time how long you want to mark links as visited ... pelagic	[reply] [d/l]

And getting a bit crazy with it (and pointless since it wouldn't be searchable by anything but eye) the PM gods could add "author" attributes into "a" tags: `<a href="http://perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=323154" author="323154">A Marlin is, A Merlyn isn't</a>.` This will work on browsers that properly support CSS2: `a[author="323154"]:before { /* unicode bullet */ content:'\2022 '; }` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

This has a pretty interesting effect: `/* id=3628 is Newest Nodes */ #3628 .main_content a:visited { visibility: hidden; }` [download] -- Damon Allen Davison http://www.allolex.net	[reply] [d/l]

" ... and I do it exactly the same way with that in my personal css" Yep that's what I do. And it's brittle for all the reasons I gave. "With Opera you can define the time how long you want to mark links as visited ..." And you can in Firefox too. -- Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the wise.
