There are two ways to control the link color: the web author specifies it, or you yourself override what the web author designs with some setting in your browser.

Since I don't use IE8 I cannot suggest how to find that setting, but there is always the slight possibility that it's a coding thing on the website side (although the followed links on DU for me change color, so I doubt that's it)
