Question

How do you make visitors have a cross mouse? --Dacheatbot · Communicate 02:58, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Just put <div style="cursor:crosshair;">. And say you want to change it to a pointer, like when you hover over a link, just replace "crosshair" with "pointer". — DBK! 03:01, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Can you use a Photo?(Like, this.) --Dacheatbot · Communicate 03:04, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

I'm not entirely sure how. Try asking a sysop. — DBK! 03:11, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

I wouldn't think there would be an easy way. You probably would eventually be able to if you were somebody like Tom or Com, by poking around in the bowels of the system. That would take alot of time though, and would be a question of "doing it for one user, doing it for everybody", which admins don't usually want to start. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 03:31, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Well if you cant do that, what cursors are there? --Dacheatbot · Communicate 03:33, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

This page seems to go through alot of different cursors that should work. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 03:43, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

And, if you wanted to make an image into a cursor, then you'd have to make it into a cursor file (.ani or .cur). Ive asked this question and you cant put up special cursors on a MediaWiki site. — DBK! 04:03, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Userboxes

Hey there DBK, I just wnated to remind you of our standards for userboxes. Your new drums one would be acceptable on Wikipedia, but we're trying to keep all of them here directly related to your Homestar Runner or HR Wiki experience. Not trying to be a spoilsport, just trying to nip WP's userbox problem in the bud here. Thanks for your understanding. Username-talk 02:56, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Well, I see a "fun" section in the user box page. I thought those would fall under them. Also, it my personal image and my personal user boxes. Sorry, I'll take them down if I have to. — DBK! 02:58, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

The fun ones are still all related material though. I know it is personal and just on your page, but it's still no good. Maybe you could work Homestar into it somehow. Username-talk 03:02, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

To be fair, he does have a picture of The Cheat playing the drums in that userbox, which makes it not that much more distantly related than the guitar one. At least to my mind. Heimstern Läufer 03:06, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Fixed, plus added that image to The Cheat. — DBK! 03:08, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
