Is it being overridden by another CSS rule? Did you check in Firebug?

Firebug says:

body, caption, th, td, input, textarea, select, option, legend, fieldset (line 1){
  font-family: Tahoma,Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,"Bitstream Vera Sans",sans-serif;
}

#forum td.container (line 1){
  padding-top: 5px;
}

#forum td.container (line 1){
  border-top-width: 0pt;
  border-top-style: none;
  border-top-color: -moz-use-text-color;
  margin-top: 0pt;
  padding-left: 15px;
  padding-top: 5px;
}

#forum td.container (line 1){
  background-color: #6e320e;
  border-bottom-width: medium;
  border-bottom-style: none;
  border-bottom-color: -moz-use-text-color;
}

I've changed the Selector to

#forum td.container a:link{
        color: #ff0;
}

Still not working.

Sorry: It IS actually working now. I cleared the cache and I'm in business.

Yes. You gave a colour to unvisited links (a:link) but not visited ones, so clearing the cache made the visited links not visited. (I hope this makes sense...)

Cordially, David
