I'm open to suggestions as far as whether we should change the color, underline links, or both, but as it is it's a little too subtle for less than perfect monitors and viewing angles.

\$\begingroup\$ Love the answers providing users with means to implement their own solution; but I feel it is important to note (as I did on the newer duplicate) that to my eyes, the links are fairly distinguishable. May not be the best design implementation, but they certainly are not camouflaged. \$\endgroup\$– GnemlockMay 11, 2017 at 1:23

I've build a simple userstyle to use cause I was annoyed by it:
div.message a {
color: #d1802a;
}
https://userstyles.org/styles/103649/make-links-identifiable
(One that also does the stars, and every other link in the star list because as far as I can tell there's no other way of telling:)
div.message a, #starred-posts a {
color: #d1802a;
}

\$\begingroup\$ If you want dashed underline you can do it yourself =p \$\endgroup\$– ElvaJul 21, 2014 at 15:20

\$\begingroup\$ +1 for a lovely work around though I still think we should push for an official solution. I honestly wasn't aware of user styles until now. Awesome! \$\endgroup\$ Jul 21, 2014 at 17:08

\$\begingroup\$ Hm. Just noticed that this script (at least when used with GreaseMonkey, someone please confirm using Stylish) does not work on links in the stars section. \$\endgroup\$– PipAug 24, 2014 at 22:27

\$\begingroup\$ It does not, I can add a second version which does. \$\endgroup\$– ElvaAug 25, 2014 at 7:39

In addition to Kevin's answer, I hacked his snippets into a userstyle that changes the colors of both the stars' links and the rest of them, and also works on all SE sites instead of just GDSE. That part can be edited in the js file.

Note: This script can be used with GreaseMonkey in FireFox or Stylish. It may work with other tools/browsers.
