Say a topic has 3 or 4 pages...Firefox will show that I've clicked on and viewed that topic, but it won't show me which pages I've also looked at, like the history doesn't know or something.

It never used to do this.

What the hell, GameFAQs? Clearly I blame you.

Maybe you accidentally told Firefox to 'forget' about Gamefaqs?

Check to make sure that your Privacy settings are set to "Remember History." Otherwise I have no idea.

Like it said, it remembers the topics I've clicked on and entered.

Just not individual pages I've viewed.

Alright crasty, I felt bad for giving you a crappy answer so I just spent the last hour messing around until I figured it out (turns out that I had the problem too).

1. Close Firefox
2. Find your Mozilla Profile (http://www.gemal.dk/mozilla/profile.html)
3. Open "chrome"
4. Create a file named "userContent.css"
4.5. It's possible that a file named "userContent-example.css" will already be there (it was for me, but I have a Mac). If that's the case just open it in Notepad and follow step 5 making sure to rename the file to "userContent.css" after step 6.
5. Open the file in Notepad and paste the following:
@-moz-document domain(gamefaqs.com) {
a:visited {color:#551a8b !important;}
}
6. Save the file and close it
7. Re-open Firefox and rejoice

GameFAQs did change it so page numbers in topics don't change colour anymore. This change happened 3 months ago, though.

SuperNiceDog was not so nice to my bracket.

Just a note: if you don't like the purple color I picked and want to stick to the lighter blue the site likes to use you can replace "551a8b" with "60a0e0"

Well this isn't something new that suddenly started happening, but 3 months sounds about right.

Didn't realize GameFAQs did that.

Jerks.

Ahhhh much better.

It was annoying not knowing where I left off in a topic.

Thank you!

You are welcome! I'm glad you made this topic because that change bothered me when it happened 3 months ago.

And a slightly nitpicky thing:

You can change
domain(gamefaqs.com)
to
regexp("^http://www\\.gamefaqs\\.com/boards/.*/.*")

This makes it so that the special color changes only happen within topics. It's up to you, but that's how I'm going to run things.

Does that also apply to the link to last posts of topics on the topic list?

Edit: Yes, yes it does.
