Hi, I am personally not that fond of the little globe that precedes all the external links in the Wiki. Often it disturbs in the reading of a paragraph and whether a links is external or internal should not matter to the user at all. I even wonder how many newbies understand why the icon is shown at all. -- -- dag wieers, dag at wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors]

I think its a good idea to have them there, so people know its a url to an external site, however we definitely should try and get something that is not as stark and harsh. I like the way Trac does external urls (eg: http://trac.edgewall.org/ ) , and their image seems to blend in quite well into the text around it. What are the chances we might be able to get something similar ? -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522219 at icq
