Hello! I noticed that in Buzz when text is hyperlinked it turns blue but does not also get underlined. When you hover over the hyperlink, it is underlined. Best practice for accessibility here is outlined in WCAG 2.1: 1.4.1 Use of Color Level A, which can be summarized as:
Color is not used as the only visual means of conveying information, indicating an action, prompting a response, or distinguishing a visual element.
An example given is to use underline in addition to color for hyperlinks.
(On a related note, it would be great to have access to the full rich text editor when initially submitting these discussion posts, so we could also take care of hyperlinked text, images, etc more effectively versus needing to edit the initial post immediately.)
Thanks for considering these improvements!
