I'm no star web-designer, but I've built sites. In the nearly 2 decades since I started, I have never heard of a web designer leaving the audience at the mercy of some default browser behavior, involving their having to get under the hood themselves to adjust for their preference.

Web design is about choices, and they should be made by the designer, not left to the limited web-design and browser-alteration capabilities of the large audience. The quality of the designer is measured by how well he/she decides on the best look for the site, its purpose, and its audience.

Bold face is a notorious no-no in web-design as a basic font, and two notably contrasting colors are always recommended for unclicked and clicked links.

I have to conclude that the designer here knows very little about web design, and the responsibilities that come with the field.

Hopefully the numerous comments here will persuade the site to re-design the main page in an easy-to-read, non-bold font, with a color 100% suited to the content (it's just a news bulletin board), with an equally easy-to-read-and-detect color for visited links – in other words, something like the way it was.
