Why are some entries in the Recent Changes list black?

[Dave Drexler]

I just started noticing that some of the entries in the Dashboard Recent Changes list are black. ie, instead of the page names being blue, per usual, some are black.

Is that a new feature? Is something wrong?

I'm using Confluence 5.5.2.

Hello Dave there are two possible scenarios from the report above, one is that the visited links to display in black as per Web Browser configuration. The other is that is a consequence of the formatting for visited links versus the not visited yet as per our doco description Recent means any activity in the last seven days. A bold link means that you have not yet visited the page.

An easy way to check that is to research for the non-blacked items through your browser history. 

Hope this helps.

Thanks - that makes sense.
