Topic: Link underline consistency

At the moment most links are underlined, but some are not (e.g. breadcrumbs, username, 'Post topic', 'Unsubscribe from topic', link to post, etc.).  It seems a little arbitrary.  For the sake of usability, I'd like to see consistency - either all or none.  The only exception to that rule could be main menu, which has obvious purpose.

Breadcrumbs also. Its hover should have underline though.

And... please, make forum title link to home page.

Correction: for the sake of usability and accessibility, all links should be underlined; for the sake of aesthetics, they should be one or the other.

I disagree about the breadcrumbs - they're just a string of words in the main content area, along with many other words.  The main menu is graphically separated from the content below, and its purpose is clear.  Breadcrumbs are not a common element of websites, so Jack Average will not immediately recognise their function.

Agreed on home page link.
