[Tex/LaTex] \hyperref: footnote links not active and color not changing

Question

I'm using \hyperref and encountering two problems. First: footnote links are not active; second: I cannot seem to change the color of links or to go from colored links to links with borders.

Below is an example (using colored links, not borders):

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{setspace}
\usepackage{amssymb, natbib}
\usepackage[tbtags]{amsmath}
\usepackage{rotating}
\usepackage{ctable}
\usepackage{sectsty}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage{caption}
\usepackage{comment}
\usepackage{appendix}
\usepackage{verbatim}
\usepackage[margin=1.1in]{geometry}

 \usepackage[pdftex, pdftitle={}, pdfauthor={}, colorlinks=true, urlcolor=green, linkcolor=green, citecolor=green, raiselinks=false, hyperfootnotes=true]{hyperref}

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Sorry, here is, what I think, is a MWE.

The color of hyperlinks produced using \href is controlled by the filecolor key, so you can say

\usepackage[
  pdftitle={Mongolia games paper}, 
  pdfauthor={Daniel Rubenson, Peter Loewen \& Richard Sawyer}, 
  colorlinks=true, 
  urlcolor=green, 
  linkcolor=green, 
  citecolor=green, 
  filecolor=green, 
  raiselinks=false, 
  hyperfootnotes=true]{hyperref}

but apparently you want all the hyperlinks to be the same color; in this case, it is better to use allcolors:

\usepackage[
  pdftitle={Mongolia games paper}, 
  pdfauthor={Daniel Rubenson, Peter Loewen \& Richard Sawyer}, 
  colorlinks=true, 
  allcolors=green, 
  raiselinks=false, 
  hyperfootnotes=true]{hyperref}

A complete example incorporating some of your code (i changed the value of paperheight just for the example):

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{setspace}
\usepackage{amssymb, natbib}
\usepackage[tbtags]{amsmath}
\usepackage{rotating}
\usepackage{ctable}
\usepackage{sectsty}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage{caption}
\usepackage{comment}
\usepackage{appendix}
\usepackage{verbatim}
\usepackage[margin=1.1in,
paperheight=8cm% just for the example
]{geometry}

\usepackage[
  pdftitle={Mongolia games paper}, 
  pdfauthor={Daniel Rubenson, Peter Loewen \& Richard Sawyer}, 
  colorlinks=true, 
  urlcolor=green, 
  linkcolor=green, 
  citecolor=green, 
  filecolor=green, 
  raiselinks=false, 
  hyperfootnotes=true]{hyperref}

\usepackage{hypernat}

\newcommand{\revertstretch}{\setstretch{1.3}}
\revertstretch

\begin{document}

\href{a_link}{a link}

An example.\footnote{An example.}

\end{document}

Regarding the issue with footnote hyperlink, it is a well known fact that hyperref might not cooperate well with footnotes; here's a little note about the hyperfootnotes option, taken from hyperref's documentation:
