Yes, thanks, that may fix the footer, but the problem is that this is now the default behavior for all links and its very different from 1.2
I guess I got used to the way it was and feel it worked better. The links in 1.2 were bolder, the correct color (white) when in the footer, and altogether more obvious to the user.
The code above will maybe partially resolve the issue with the footer, but what about all the other links in the body copy and plugins etc?
