but, please please, before you use this
hack, understand it is not a good one. cursors should be left alone only in
special situations, and the default ones almost always should be left as is. ill
give you example of right and wrong:
* on the example hack DarkAeon has made, when ever i put my cursor over most of
the page, it turns into a crosshair, which makes me think that something special
is going to happen as soon as i click, which i dont want.
* and when i put the cursor over links, the cursor turns onto one with a
question mark, which makes me think that if i leave my cursor there long enough,
some interesting or useful infomation is going to pop up (which it
doesnt).
* say you have a box, that does something special when you click it (using
javascript), but it isnt an actual <a> link, you could use CSS to make the
cursor a link pointing hand when you put the cursor over the box, to show that
something will happen if you click it (which is what I do on the
UserpageSkinDesigns tab system).
OK this little tutorial will help you set up Custom cursors for your userpage. Really simple
goto your customize userpage:Content and near the top put the fallowing.
the Ahover is the curser you want over the links if you want a diffrent one just change the curser names
I hope this helps some people I will be coming up with a new way for a userpage layout soon ^_^

That's why I used the crosshair cursor only above links on my userpage. You put it like this:
^_^ thanx!
this is really great cuz right now i'm still trying to figure out how to make mah page pretty!
So that's how you do it. I was wondering how some ppl make it like that on their userpage. Thanks dude!
