eBay Suspended & PayPal Limited Forums - Want to buy a car from USA and bring to UK!

Admins - if you guys care, you could probably stop this from happening by manually forcing links to show up as links, by styling the [rel="nofollow"] attribute. I think this would be the easiest way to do it without having to assign forum posted links a link class.

I believe forcing the link color in CSS would override their BBcode color selection since BBcode is rendered into HTML by the server, and forum HTML has to comply with the forum's CSS.

For example :

HTML Code:

<style type="text/css">a[rel="nofollow"] {

    color: blue;

 }</style>

Style a link based on it's rel attribute

You could render the code yourself, if you want.. :lol:
Put this code:

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
 <html>
 <head>
 <style type="text/css">a[rel="nofollow"] {

    color: green;

 }</style>
 </head>
 <body>
 
 <a rel ="nofollow" href="http://yahoo.com">Yahoogle</a>
 
 </body>
 </html>

Into the W3schools Tryit Editor: https://www.w3schools.com/css/tryit....trycss_default

The old way of styling links would have been to assign a class:

HTML Code:

<style type="text/css">a.links{

    color: green;}
 </style>

 <a class="links" href="http://google.com">Google</a>

But since this is a forum where content is dynamic and the admins do very little manual formatting, it would be a hassle trying to assign a class.

If you look at the source for when links are posted on the forum, they are all automatically given the "rel="nofollow"" attribute. So it would be easier to add a few lines of CSS, styling the attribute that already exists by default, instead of trying to assign all links a class and then styling the class of links.
