linked text ... is it just my old eyes?

Perhaps it's just me ... but the blue being used by this new version to indicate that the text contains a link seems almost indistinguishable from the normal black text.

Is there any chance you could choose a shade of blue (or other color) that's more visually distinct?

Though I can still distinguish both colours, you are right, the blue used for links is too dark and can be easily confused with normal, non linked text.

Thanks, Bob. Every time I put in a link I reminded myself to point that out--and then got distracted. Of course, my eyes are getting old too.

I agree completely, Bob, which is why I put all my links in capital letters. I can't see the blue at all.
