Description (last modified by SergeyBiryukov)

Currently only links in p are underlined. If a link is in a list, the link is not underlined, which causes problems for colorblind people.

Also the contrast between the text and the link is not really different, so also for not-colorblind people its hard to spot the links.

I have found an example, where the list points are a budge of text, in in between are some links, so I think it would makes sense to also underline links in list points.

I also would prefer this style

#main li a {
    text-decoration: underline;
}

instead of

p a {
    border-bottom: 1px solid #dfdfdf;
}

which we are use currently, because the color contrast of the line fails AA (http://www.contrastchecker.com/)

Example:
