Visited/Unvisited Website Colors

G

Guest

Recently visited IMDB and spent some time browsing. The visited
movies/actors change from a blue color to a purple. Then after perhaps 5
minutes the visited colors turn back to blue and become unvisited.

Is there anyway via a 3rd party tool/admin. for keeping this from happening,
and retaining the visited color of purple for as long as I am in the website?

Thank you,

Thank you,

So long as they're in cache (and the target hasn't changed) then you should
have that setting retained.

Enable history, even if it's just for a day, and set your TIF (temp internet
files) to something close to 75 to 150 MB or so.

Does that make a difference? (Also, while there, clear out the TIF and
cookies and the likes to give yourself a clean shot at it.)

If it doesn't make a difference - this is a long shot - open IE, click
tools, options, accessibility button on the general tab, and see if there's
a style sheet loaded. It seems possible for that to go ahead and set it so
that it would make a link unvisited after a while. Another problem might be
the site itself using dynamic links that change based on your last action -
thus the links are different and then they're not visited even though the
resulting page is the same except, well, I frequent IMDB (good site) and it
doesn't do that to the best of my knowledge so I doubt that's the cause.
