I found it easier on my site to set the font color in the posts to a different (darker) color than the links to avoid changing the numerous links around the site and mainly on the main forum page.
So now in my posts the links are white (# ffffff ) and the standard text font is a gray color and the two are easy to tell apart.
Just thought I'd put that out there as this sites color scheme is similar to mine.
