Forum:Hover for user links

Hey, I'm trying to set up a permanent rule in my MediaWiki:Wikia.css that should make the hover of a link to my username turn the link green. I tried a little and maybe it's easier to explain by showing what I tried to accomplish on my own: .a:hover[data-link="User:Bereisgreat"] {color:green} This should clarify it. Obviously, it doesn't work, so is there a way for it to display the way I want to? 14:31, July 27, 2012 (UTC)

Okay maybe not. Sorry for making this overly complicated. I know this works: a[href="/wiki/User:Bereisgreat"] {color:Purple !important;} , but I don't want the color to be changed in normal state, but only when the cursor is hovering over it. Any thoughts? 20:39, July 27, 2012 (UTC) The use of !important is not necessary, neither in this case nor in the previous example. TK-999 (talk) 20:52, July 27, 2012 (UTC)


 * Okay thanks. It doesn't work at the moment but I'll give it some time. If I don't come back: thanks. If there are any problems, I'll return and ask again. But thanks either way. 02:16, July 28, 2012 (UTC)
