This has been bugging me ever since the "Better Homes and Gardens" site design was implemented: in the main listings of questions[*], questions that are new to you are bold/darker, while questions you have visited are not bold/lighter. In the sidebar listings, it's exactly the opposite: questions that are new to you are not bold/lighter, while questions you have visited are bold/darker.

Could we please choose one link formatting plan, and use it on all parts of the site? I don't really care which one we pick, as long as it stays consistent.

[*] The main section has two very different formats: if you click on the site logo, you get the number of votes, number of answers, and number of views side-by-side. If you click on Questions, you get the three numbers combined into one table cell. This also bothers me, but not as much as the schizophrenic link highlighting.

    It's definitely the sidebar that's wrong (at least according to web conventions). Visited links should be de-emphasized. I hadn't even noticed the inconsistency until now, but the sidebar has been bugging me since long before I actually realized what the problem was. I'm pretty sure this wasn't intentional, the styles must have gotten transposed.

I have fixed this. the side bar unvisited links are darker, and lighter when visited. the change will be in the next deployment.
