This has been a suggestion of mine from some time ago when the message base got rid of underlining links. Without the underline - and without great differentiation between the font - it's difficult to make out what's a link from what's regular text.

Mouse over the entire "Check it out!" text in the original message and you'll notice your cursor changes from a pointer to a finger (by default on Windows/Chrome) which indicates a link. The entire post is a link you can click.

It goes here:

https://www.yamahasynth.com/yamaha-synth-rss/montage-os-v3-0-and-montage-white-sonic-state-with-dom-sigalas

... and here's the reference to the suggestion over a year ago:

https://yamahasynth.com/ask-a-question/a-few-usability-issues-link-css-and-date-timestamps

Note: I added [ u ] and [ / u ] (without spaces) above to make the links underlined. This should be the default for any link - to present links as underlined without the user having to surround with [ u ] or do anything else. The tutorials suffer from this as well - and it becomes cumbersome to find the file link when scanning through a tutorial or determine what's a link in the forum.

Thanks Jason! I should've tried that! I like Dom Sigalas and find his demos generally easy to follow. I noticed though, that he didn't even mention the way-out-front best addition on v3.0 - going back to where you started when pressing 'Category Search' instead of dragging all the way back to Square One! It's the only thing I've found of any use to me (so far!). Evidently doesn't figure high on anyone else's list ...

... we've all got opinions of what's "important". That wasn't one of them. His priority on hardware sequencing doesn't align with those who thought that was an important addition. Likewise for category search "memory". And probably less outcry for category search updates - so no flashy demo (it doesn't exactly demo well, anyhow).
