Been asked to change the knowledgebase wiki at work to reflect some shitty rebranding we've had done, basically they want everything to be a shitty reddy pink colour. It looks attrocious but I'm just doing as i'm told...

in the main.css file on the server where the wiki software is installed, I've changed all the hyperlinks except those that link directly to a document as below:

Any idea where the entry is in the CSS config which I need to change for this?

Cheers

Aye, i really can't find anything in the CSS template for these links.

Grrr not too enthusiastic about sorting it either which makes it worse, since it now looks crap

Example entries for 'regular' links:

a {
text-decoration: none;
color: #F1003C;
background: none;
}
a:visited {
color: #BE002F;
}
a:active {
color: #F1003C;
}
a:hover {
text-decoration: underline;
}

For future ref. If you're running Dreamweaver then you can search the entire current local site for stuff - I guess those links have a class name or something that you can search for.
