Hover effect on index portfolio navigation (Squarespace 7.1)

Site URL: https://www.friends-n-family.com/

Hello to everyone. 

I'm searching for a solution to make a portfolio collection links on homepage to have hover effet. At this very moment not everyone understand that these titles are clickable (Screenshot 1). 

In the version 7.0 there was an option to underline these links on hover, which looked amazing. So I'd love this effect, or at least a change of opacity on hover. 

The second question about the portfolio pages - how can I remove the bottom navigation (Screenshot 2). 

Thanks in advance for your expert help!

You can try this in design->Custom CSS
 

.portfolio-hover-item {
    padding-right: 3.865rem;
    padding-left: 3.865rem;
}
.portfolio-hover-item .portfolio-hover-item-content {
    padding: 0 !important;
}
.portfolio-hover-item-title {
    display: inline-block;
}

.portfolio-hover-item-title::after {
    content: '';
    display: block;
    width: 0;
    height: 2px;
    background: #fff;
    transition: width .3s;
}

.portfolio-hover-item-title:hover::after {
    width: 100%;
}
[data-collection-type="portfolio-index-background"].item-pagination {
  display: none;
}

Dear @bangank36 thanks for such a prompt answer. 

It looks very close to what I want to get. I wonder if we could fix the code so the line do not grow too far away from the menu item. Adding a screenshot to show the result. 

The code to hide pagination worked very well, thanks a lot for that! 

In the code find this line and change the percentage value to fit your need

Thank you! That really helped!
