Commentary has no coloured verse numbers
Is there a particular reason why commentaries have coloured verse numbers and yet the commentary by Matthew Poole does not? Or is there a way to fix that?

Yep ... it seems inconsistent. Chapters are linked (coloured); first verses appear linked. But subsequent verses don't appear to be.
Can't tell from Logos.com what type of resource Poole is.

I noticed the verses are not linked. Here's a screenshot of a verse number from Poole which is not coloured and another from Expositors that is. MSI Katana GF76 Intel Core i7-12700H, RTX3060, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD, Windows 11 Home

Totally confusing. I had intended to put a screenshot from Poole's commentary first then Expositors.
The first one you are seeing is from Expositors whereas the second is from Poole.
I tried putting both pictures into one reply but for some reason, that didn't go, so consequently, the two (now three) posts.

If there is any reason for large colored verse numbers it must lie with some setting of yours!
Check your Visual filters (in the Documents menu)

It is not a case of large coloured numbers. Rather, it is the regular sized verse numbers are not coloured at all in Poole's commentary. You say check visual filters in Documents - that's an easy suggestion from your perspective but that's like saying, "take the road." What is it that you are suggesting me to look for specifically?

Here's a screenshot to help you understand what I'm referring to. Notice the 2 to the left of the verse which is verse # 2. It is not coloured. Other commentaries are.

The colored numbers are not a native Logos feature - none of my commentaries have colored verse numbers. Rather, you probably have a personal visual filter which colors the verse numbers. Because it is personal, we can't tell you the name of what to look for - but under visual filters it should have a check mark turning it on (or no check mark when it is turned off).

Coloured and slightly bolded.
Interesting - are you talking about when it is a hyperlink? few of mine are. If you guys are talking hyperlinked, if a commentary lacks hyperlinks where you expect them, report it as an error in the resource (I use RESOURCE BUG).
Sorry, I didn't translate "coloured" to "hyperlink" which appears to be what the OP is reporting as missing. Ignore all the visual filter stuff.

Yes 'coloured' misled me too.
But as above it's not clear if Poole's is supposed to be linked (commentary verses). Reader or research edition? I'm guessing 'reader' since full references (in Poole) are linked; verse references (a stand-alone number) are not.

Thank you all, for the replies. I've called customer support and I was told they see the same in Poole's commentary (verse numbers are not coloured) and they will get back to me should this be a normal thing or not. It is strange, that one commentary out of the bunch should be different this way. Does anyone else who is using Poole, find the verse numbers are coloured or are not coloured?

I have the logos research edition, and none of the verse numbers have a hyperlink.

Sorry to have confused some with the world colour... the American word color is simply spelled colour in the UK and Canada.
As to hyperlinked, I'm not right sure if I'm following you, but if so, I do have Poole linked with other commentaries, so when I look up one verse in one, the same is going to show up in the other.
But hyperlinked is not the issue but rather, it is simply the verse number or if some want to call it the reference number, either or, Poole is not showing up coloured as to the rest of the commentaries I have here.

This thread somehow contains lots of unclear language and misunderstandings. Every verse reference I've seen in that resource is a link - your screenshot shows them in red squares. What is not a link is the non-reference numbers starting the bible verses themselves - they are not links in your bibles either! Why should they be - the bible text itself is directly behind the number. Your second screenshot shows that the E4 edition (presumably) lacks specifically that. The link there behind "Verse 7" to Mt 2:7 will provide the bible text on hover - for commentaries lacking the actual text, this is very helpful. For commentaries containing the text, like the Logos edition, much less so.
NB: the 2014 last change to the Poole's resource probably predates the inception of Logos Reader's Editions - but bible references are not the differentiator between Logos Research Editions and Reader's Editions, it's all the other references.
Have joy in the Lord!

That wasn't my confusion. My confusion was whether you meant colored blue i.e. hyperlink or other colors which would be controlled by you via visual filters. I assumed you did not mean coloured blue because I thought you would recognize that as a hyperlink. And yes, I grew up close enough to the boarder to be find with theater or theatre, color or colour ...

Thank you for your response. I'm glad I didn't flip you over the edge with the word colour, although it seems you were confused with my question. I have no idea as how to make it any clearer.
Anyway, if you understand me now, have you an idea why a verse # is not highlighted with any particular colour in Poole's commentaries and why others commentaries are. From what I'm reading here so far, I seem to have everyone stumped including Home Office. :-)

Provide a description of what is or is not happening e.g. on hover, it does not show the bible verse.

Dave, thank you again for your reply but I have no idea what you mean by what is happening or not happening on hover.
Here's another screenshot of the Commentary under discussion and you will notice the verse numbers. They are the same colour as the text in the verse whereas, the verse numbers in all other commentaries are blue.

Blue indicates a hyperlink. If you hover over it you see a preview of the hyperlink. You are showing a piece of the Bible translation inside the commentary. What do you expect it to be linked to? In my commentaries that include a Bible translation, the verse numbers of the Bible are not linked to anything and therefore, are not blue. For example, from the Anchor Bible Commentary series:

Actually, where I am stumped is how to communicate with you what the answer is. It's essentially "they aren't blue because they shouldn't be blue; Bibles don't have blue verse numbers; Bibles within a commentary also don't have blue numbers. And I don't know why your mix of commentary makes this unusually except that you must have few commentaries where the author provides their own translation."

I see what you are referring to now but again, we're not on the same page. Hovering over a highlighted verse within the commentary is not what what I'm referring to.
I have one commentary opened which is Expositors on Jeremiah 5:2. It's the verse number itself to the left of what is being explained that I am talking about.
Here it is and notice the colour of the verse number, being 1-3.

Here is a picture of the same from Matthew Poole. Notice the verse number (2) that is explained has no colour. That is my question. Why does Expositors have the verse number (2) to be explained coloured, and Poole not, which latter is seen in this screenshot.

I'm sorry but I don't know another way to explain it. The 2 in Poole is the verse number of the Bible text; the commentary starts below. The 1-3 of the Expositors tells you this is commentary on the verse numbers - which are hyperlinked to the Bible text which is not shown. Perhaps, in the morning I can think of another way to explain it to you.

Grab a couple of Starbucks and look at it again! Notice in Expositors, "a. The Bill of particulars (5:1-9) and that the numbers shown in brackets is coloured blue. Now go to Poole and notice (2) in front of the phrase, "And though they say..." and that the (2) is not coloured but the same colour that is found in the text.
Home Office did know what I was referring to but they weren't sure why it is only Poole that is different from the rest. She said they were going to look into it and get back to me, whether this is a glitch or standard for that particular one.
Anyway, if this is that complicated, we've got to drop it. I will say thank you to you & those who have taken a gander at this. Hopefully, the anxiety levels haven't gone off the charts. :-)

Dark Mode does strange things. The verse number in Poole is not a link (hovering does not do anything).
Note that the superscript d, e and f are blue links i.e. footnote indicators that provide information. But they don't appear that way in "Normal" mode:
Now note that the Expositor's chapter is a subtle blue and the verse range is probably a dark/bold blue. Both are links.
I have a light grey background to my resources.

Thanks again Dave, for your input . I realize the verse # is not a link, although now I understand what you were saying about the links.
I've switched from Dark to the Light mode but it doesn't change anything in the Poole commentary. As Home Office said, there is something different happening in that particular commentary that differs from the rest, and so they'll look into it... according to her. I don't recall Poole ever having coloured verse numbers but then again, at this age, the memory banks are becoming more depleted.
Thank you for your expertise and efforts!
