In the news today, I have officially opened up for commissions You can check that out here (http://www.overminddl1.com/theunoriginalcomic/commission.php).
Also, banner ad slots (http://www.overminddl1.com/theunoriginalcomic/advertise.php) will be sold for $5/slot, with discounts if you buy more than 3.
Oh, and for those of you slightly confused on today's comic, I suggest you reference The OTHER Comic #62 (http://www.overminddl1.com/theunoriginalcomic/toc.php?comic=50) to clear up any confusion.
Note to self: Get ODL1 to fuddle with the link color... o.o *I* can barely make that out.

I don't like dark rooms. They're scary. :(
-
As I said earlier, Megs is screwed. Also there's no 'e' in "Awfully"
-
That is the result of me making comics at 2AM. I'll change it, uhm.. later. Since now it's 4AM.
-
Link color is easy to change. What links and where? :)
-
The "normal" link color. It's really really light blue. Maybe you could change it just a tad darker?
-
ODL1's right: it's really friggin' simple to change the link color...all you gotta do is meddle with the <a> link hexidecimal code through notepad and what not.
It looks like you're using either 99FFFF or 66FFFF...maybe you should change it up to CCFFFF...should make it easier to read.
Now, me saying that makes me have to link you to this page (http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_colors.asp). I use that myself whenever I'm making color on pages, text, and links.

...you forget that this is a forum-based comic archiving system, driven by PHP -- something I know *nothing* about. -.-

Actually all colors in this are very simple to change, let me teach you so you may be amazed. :)
First goto Admin.
Then goto "Themes and Layout Settings" section.
Then goto "Modify Themes".
Since you are using the Black22 theme, then click the "Edit this theme's stylesheet." under the Black22 theme section.
You now have the stylesheet in a large textbox with a preview at the top, click preview at any time to update it.
This is now the stylesheet used by this theme (you could always ftp it off the server, edit it, and reupload it, but this is easier. :) ). All links in html are ancher elements (<a>). So in the stylesheet, look for section that start with a. It will have a colon after it for subsections. The one from your stylesheet is this: (and don't worry, anyone here can look at the stylesheet, it links from the html so the browser knows how to paint stuff. :)
a:link
{
color: #D5E5FD;
text-decoration: none;
}
a:visited
{
color: #D0E0F8;
text-decoration: none;
}
a:hover
{
color: #ffE5FD;
text-decoration: none;
}
You should be able to guess what each section does.
Just change the color to what you want. For note, the look good to me, but then my monitor is very large and bright. :)
And of course, this is a calming theme, so I wouldn't recommend anything like red. White text for links would also not be good since it would be the same as text. And the overall theme for this thing is blue, so you might just try lightening the blue, mabye something subtly brighter like:
a:link
{
color: #DAF5FD;
text-decoration: none;
}
a:visited
{
color: #D0F0F8;
text-decoration: none;
}
a:hover
{
color: #ffE5FD;
text-decoration: none;
}
And for note, the Web developer plugin for Firefox is amazingly useful for things like that, you can click the CSS button then click Edit CSS to edit the css of the current page in real-time, seeing the effects, that is how I came up with that color, wonderful for seeing how things change. :)
