This was a good tweak that will help many. Many of the recommendations are just as subtle and most people will never notice. Until they need to.

My previous comments that SOL is a remarkable site are further substantiated by this change.

It’s a help to me also not because of color blindness but because it guides me.

Thanks for your consideration of some people’s needs.

SOL, still a truly remarkable site. I wish that other web sites had the foresight you have.

I noticed at least two folks this has already helped, so I don’t understand why anyone would bitch about it.

I’m also quite sure that it can be done using browser stylesheets for those who need it, by the way.

To Firefox users that don’t use adblock, Shame on you! Heh Heh

I like Gauthier’s suggestion too. Perhaps it could result in an asterisk next to recently visited titles.

I appreciate the loving good care you put into this wodnderful site. I still wish you would add Amer Express so I could be member.

I do agree that the Library probably doesn’t need them, but I don’t see you taking the extra time to have different style sheets for the library.

Good job, Lazeez! And thanks for the explanation!

Those check marks are a neat little trick for those that need them. Easy enough to ignore if the colored links show.

Brian

for those that want the check removed, here’s a little greasemonky script to remove it from firefox

function addGlobalStyle(css) {

var head, style;

head = document.getElementsByTagName(‘head’)[0];

if (!head) { return; }

style = document.createElement(‘style’);

style.type = ‘text/css’;

style.innerHTML = css;

head.appendChild(style); }

addGlobalStyle(‘a:visited {background:none !important; }’);

With most of the pages it not even noticable, but I mostly visit the My Library pages. It’s redundant there. Practically every link is visited there, and thats a lot of check marks in a small place.

I’m sure in time I get used to it, but right now I find it really annoying.

- As H the H says, if only we could get others to implement this change as well!!

I can see it helping out the extremely impaired, but is it really for everybody. If they are that bad then a browser extension () would probably be much more helpful to them.

I’d like to see a more permanent version of the visited/unvisited indicator, tied to my account. This would (a) last more than however-many days, so when the home page rotates up yet another story by an author with 200+ stories, I know if I’ve read it; and (b) let me have a consistent view from multiple computers.

A big plus for those that need it, no problem for the rest of us.

Would be a worthy addition to web standards.

I am also color blind. It’s SOOOO nice to see some people make allowances for us. I really appreciate it, and I know others do too. By the way, what made you think of it?

Great idea!

Safari’s default setting is one month. Firefox’s default setting is for 10 days. IE7′s default setting is for 20 days.

Keep up the good work, sir. We much appreciate it out here.

And I got peace of mind discovering that it’s moot for me, and yet it serves a positive purpose for others. There’s no down side.

With some more tweak and Javascript It is possible to show an special mark “updated since last visit” using the same browser history basis.

For avid reader which get lost in the Stories updated in the last 30 days pages that would add great value.

For example I visited

http://storiesonline.net/story/55306

and http://storiesonline.net/story/55306:72618

the last update (not visited) is

http://storiesonline.net/story/55306:72656

So having an hidden link to the last chapter and comparing trough JS the visited status of the story index with the one of the last chapter let you change the link style and thus show a different check mark.
