This probelm bugs the hell outta me!!
okay...so I'm using CSS on my site, and I have created one for the tags. Now, there is an "a:link" with one color and no decorations; i also have an "a:hover" set to a different color and no decorations...no probs so far...finally i have the "a:visited" set to the same parameters as the a:link, meaning same color and no decorations.
Now, my problem comes in when actually clicking these links on the live site. Once they have been clicked on, they remain in their "visited" state and lose their roll-over effect ... ... ... WHAT??!?!?!
Any ideas on how I could fix this? PLLLLEEEAASSEEEE!!!!

I had the same problem and got ride of the a:visited link.
Here is how I formatted mine:
a:link {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 10px;
color: #999999;
text-decoration: none;
}
a:hover {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 10px;
color: #5B7EB3;
text-decoration: none;
}

hmm.. i thought about doing that, but would that leave the default visited script on? meaning that the text would be underlined and an ugly red?

An example would help, but I'm guessing that you have the :hover before the :visited -- they have to be in order.

lol, use a bbgun.
yes, the order is somewhat disputed whether it needs to be :link, :active, :visited, :hover or with :active and :visited switched, however :hover should be last.
