Forum:User page links in coloured comments

Currently, I'm using CSS on the Once Upon a Time wiki to generate coloured comments for admins. However, the link to the userpage of the commenter is still the standard colour. So, I would like to change the colour of that link to match the admin's colour (I hope that makes sense lol). I'm sure there's a way to do this with CSS, as I previously had the links coloured before colouring the entire comment bubble, I'm just not sure how. A stripped down version of my code is this:

So my question is, what is the code I'm looking for, and where does it need to be placed? Any tips would be appreciated :)

 * You mean coloring links to his userpage on every page or only on blog posts? 14:25, June 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * I already have the links coloured for admins everywhere else, but when I implemented the coding above to colour our comment bubbles, the links to our userpages stopped being a unique colour. Utter solitude 14:29, June 15, 2012 (UTC)

 * I tried implementing the code, but it does not seem to be working. Does it need to go in a specific place? (I'm not so good with this stuff lol) Utter solitude 14:58, June 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * You missed a quotation mark, everything after it is in red on the page. 15:01, June 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * Gah, I always miss a comma or a quote. I fixed that, but the links are still blue and not unique Utter solitude 15:06, June 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * I have a different code that I've used on a wiki I made that I think will fit your purpose.

 * @ Random yoshi: I already have that code in the CSS ;) My issue is, the admin names are already coloured, however, they are NOT coloured in blog/page comments. The comment bubbles themselves are, but the actual link to the poster's userpage is the default link colour. I'm not understanding what I'm doing wrong. http://onceuponatime.wikia.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Wikia.css
 * EDIT: I should probably be specific. I have code that colours admin names around the site (in feed, in blogs, etc) this code SHOULD also work to colour our names in comment bubbles. However, I removed the coding to colour our comment bubbles, and the names still weren't coloured there, tho they were coloured everywhere else. (I also have the code yoshi recommended, as it colours our names in feed where the other code didn't. I tried removing that, no change) Does that mean my CSS to colour our names around the site is wrong, or is the two different code sections interfering with each other somehow? (I hope at least some of that makes sense)

UPDATE: While browsing on my Android smartphone, I notice that the coding, as I have it now, seems to be working on my phone. However, when I browse using my computer, it does NOT work and the links are the default colours. This happens with both IE, and GC. I also had a friend who has never been on the wiki visit, and the code does not work for her either (she uses IE). I have cleared my cache several times in both browser.

What am I doing wrong? Any tips?
