For some reason, my Visited Links do not change color from the
non-visited ones. I noticed this recently on the mozillaZine
Forums and also Google groups (using SeaMonkey 2.2).
Could you give an example page (URL) and a link on it which doesn't
change its color after being followed? As far as I've observed many
links on mozillaZine forums are just styled with the same color for
the normal and visited states - these are mostly in the forum UI.
However links in message content appear to change their color after
being visited. Similarly for Google Groups.

Please don't use that new Google interface to post to these groups -
it breaks the threading and makes it impossible to follow. The old
Google Groups interface should be fine:

Thank you for your reply. Here's the link to the mozillaZine
SeaMonkey Support Forum that does not show visited links in a
different color:
http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=40&sid=1beb74b102afb42c4cd0138b92393c96
I opened one of the threads, then clicked on one of its links,
then returned, and that link did not change color.
You're still not specific enough. For example, I've followed your
link then opened "MR Tech Toolkit Button Options Menu disappearing"
<http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=2261063>. On
that page I've followed the link "viewtopic.php?f=48&t=669795"
<http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=669795> found in
the third posting. The link didn't change its color. But on the
last page opened, there are number of links in the first posting:
http://www.mrtech.com/extensions/
http://www.mrtech.com/extensions/release_notes.xhtml
click here <https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/reviews/add/421>
All of these changed their color after being followed. In that post
there is also a link "mrtech"
<http://forums.mozillazine.org/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=6726>
(in the text "Last edited by mrtech on December 8th, 2009, 11:16 pm,
edited 10 times in total.") which didn't change its color.
Examining all these links I've found those which change their color
have a class [1] of "postlink", which get styled by mozillaZine as:
/* Post body links */
.postlink {
color: #368AD2;
}
.postlink:visited {
color: #5D8FBD;
}
The other links don't have "postlink" class assigned and they appear
to be styled as:
/*
--------------------------------------------------------------
Colours and backgrounds for links.css
-------------------------------------------------------------- */
a:link { color: #105289; }
a:visited { color: #105289; }
which explains why they don't change their color. All of this is
supplied by the mozillaZine style sheet
<http://forums.mozillazine.org/static/forums/style/static_phpbb_style_php.css>
and is not caused by SeaMonkey - try it with any other browser to
compare.
In my previous reply I've given you number of options to control the
styling. Reply directly to one of them, if you don't understand it.

I'd sure like to know why the visited links did change color when
the ViewAbout about:config box was open, but then reverted back
to the non-visited color when I closed the about:config box.
Again, I did not make any changes in the configuration when this
occurred.
I think I've explained it mostly in my previous comment, but I fear
I don't understand what you're talking about in this paragraph.
