Make the API Version selection in the API Docs visually clickable.

TL;DR

What?

Bad UI element design for API version selector, since it looks the same as the text on the left but unlike the text on the left, it is actually a link.
Make Version selector text Underlined or Blue.

Why?

It will be easy to select the API version to view and compare.

That color without an underline is clickable all over the page though.

When you open the page for the first time, it's not at all obvious that this link is clickable (see the first picture in the post). I have repeatedly come across a question on the modders forum about where to see old versions of the API. That's why I created this thread.
You can not change the lettering or color, but add a down arrow, for example “Version 2.0.45 🠗” or “Version 2.0.45 ▼”.

People having links to old versions is often because search engines throw up old links sometimes. I'll make it a bit more obvious though, thanks.
