It's a good idea to let links underlined?

Hi,

I met many guys that told me that is a good idea to let some links underlined.

What do you think?

It depends. Whether underlined or not, it is more important to give the hyperlinks different look from plain text, I think.

Its a bad idea to rely on color alone for links. You can also make your links different in other ways then just underlining them, but its generally done by underlining.

Unless you have a very clear idea about what you are making, i would advise to stick with the underlining. Some usability "experts" are even going as far as to say they should be blue and underlined, but thats an obvious exaggeration.

I would stick with underlining... at least have underlining when you roll over.
