So, I answered my own question but will leave it up in case anyone else wants to know. Instead of using hex for the color of the background, I used HSLA format. 
#block-d325a806d44c4257f1d4 { background: hsla(0,0,0,.15); padding: 1px; text-align: center; } For anyone that doesn't know, the last number (.15 in this case) represents the opacity of the background color.  This way it will only affect the background color and not the whole block, thus the text stays opaque while you can freely change the transparency of the background. 
 
 

I'm ALSO getting the double underline so you're not alone. There has definitely been changes if this is happening to a few of us. 

As for telling you that you shouldn't be using CSS, what a ridiculous thing to say. Especially as they've REMOVED quite a few options in 7.1 that were standard in 7.0 (usually in Brine). Until they make things as customizable as they used to be, we have to use CSS. 

Thanks to you and @Anat13 for the solutions. 

My testing

This was very helpful. Thank you!

Adding this in Design > Custom CSS worked for me. It's one of the old ways to do it in one of the types of 7.0 templates:
/* Remove non-background image underline for heading and paragraph links */
h1 a, h2 a, h3 a, h4 a, p a {text-decoration: none!important}

@lplabranche, did you try adding this entire code?:
 
//remove underlines from hyperlinks//
.sqs-block-html a {background-image:none!important}
/* Remove non-background image underline for heading and paragraph links */
h1 a, h2 a, h3 a, h4 a, p a {text-decoration: none!important}

Try this new code
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.5.0/jquery.min.js"></script> <script> $(document).ready(function() { $('.header-title a').attr('href','https://beaverhero.com'); }); </script>  

Hi @bigpoppapaul yes it is similar-- it will auto play and you can remove the bullet indicators as an option each time you add it.  

Really missing those video options over here too. (7.1) 
 

You can use this add-on to achieve gallery blocks in 7.1 https://www.squareaddons.com/shop-2/slideshow

just ran into this problem  - seriously Squarespace why would you remove such an important function? we had this in 7.0, our entire website is built on this but we opted to upgrade to 7.1 for another function and now it seems our website is screwed. 
This is poor service squarespace. Can you please recommended a new website provider as I am completely over just how useless squarespace has become. 
UNIMPRESSED

@derricksrandomviews That is a HUGE help, thank you very much. 

It may be possible to show data on hover but I doubt it, not without code I don't have.. This map generator is designed to link on click not just react on hover. As far as what the click does with the link or target as it is called, these are the simplest definitions. 
target="_blank"
Opens a new window and show the related data.
target="_self"
Opens the window in the same frame, it means existing window itself.
target="_top"
Opens the linked document in the full body of the window.
target="_parent"
Opens data in the size of parent window.
 

I solved it by using this code Home / Settings / Advanced / Code Injection / Footer
<script>
  document.querySelector('.header-title-logo a').setAttribute('href', '/PAGENAME');
</script>
 
Where PAGENAME = the pagename (after the domain name)

position: absolute !important;

Wrap code in style tag, add this to Page Header
<style> #header { position: fixed !important; z-index: 1000; background: #df4430; } </style>
