MoneyMan08: Curious and – perhaps – a little amusing! I am sure we should be able to stop that. Can you send me the code? That would help (use the code highligter button on the toolbar)


 I'm testing V4 on my Livehost so I'm not sure that would have anything to do with it. Here's the login code from my sidebar.php file:

<!–START LOGIN–>
    <div align="left">
        <?php global $user_ID, $user_identity, $user_level ?>
        <?php if ( $user_ID ) : ?>
        <h2><div class="side125img"><img src="http://www.rockitpro.com/wp-content/themes/acosmin-v3/images/welcome.gif" height="33" width="150" align="left" alt="Welcome to RockItPro.com" border="0"></div></h2><br />
        <ul>
            <li><strong><?php echo $user_identity ?></strong><br />
                <a href="<?php bloginfo('url') ?>/sf-forum?&profile=user">Profile</a><br />
                <a href="<?php bloginfo('url') ?>/wp-login.php?action=logout&amp;redirect_to=<?php echo urlencode($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']) ?>">Logout</a>
            </li>
        </ul>

        <?php elseif ( get_option('users_can_register') ) : ?>

        <h2><div class="side125img"><img src="http://www.rockitpro.com/wp-content/themes/acosmin-v3/images/login.gif" height="33" width="150" align="left" alt="Login to RockItPro.com" border="0"></div></h2><br />
        <ul>
            <li><form action="<?php bloginfo('url') ?>/wp-login.php" method="post">
                <p>
                <label for="log">Username: <input type="text" name="log" id="log" value="<?php echo wp_specialchars(stripslashes($user_login), 1) ?>" size="17" /></label><br />
                <label for="pwd">Password: <input type="password" name="pwd" id="pwd" size="17" /></label><br />
                <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Login" class="button" /><br />
                <label for="rememberme"><input name="rememberme" id="rememberme" type="checkbox" checked="checked" value="forever" /> Remember me</label><br />
                </p>
                <input type="hidden" name="redirect_to" value="<?php echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; ?>"/>
            </form>

            <a href="<?php bloginfo('url') ?>/wp-register.php">Register<br />
            </a><a href="<?php bloginfo('url') ?>/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword">Lost Password?</a></li>
        </ul>
        <?php endif // get_option('users_can_register') ?></div>
    <!–END LOGIN–>

I have sent you a replacement code file. After you have copied it into the right place you may need to refresh your browser cache before you see it working correctly.

I have Vista on a laptop and will check it out tonight…  On XP, I see the hand in IE6, IE7, FF3, Opera, and Safari.


Did you have a chance to check it out on your Vista machine?

well, took a look at this tonight.

I can report that on Vista, I do not get a hand symbol when hovering over the checkbox icons when starting a topic or replying to a post.  this really wasnt what I was expecting.

Just to be sure I was doing what I thought I was, I retried on my desktop using XP and low and behold, with FF3, I am no longer seeing a hand when hovering over the checkbox options.  gonna try other browsers here in bit.

Usual advice to anyone out there…. switch to a Mac Smile It's the only way….!

Seriously though – it'd odd how some Windows users obviously do not have this problem. There is absolutely no reason why these standard controls should require a cursor defining for them….

This is actually an old issue that MicroSoft has attempted to correct on several occasions, failed, tried again, gave up and boosted their advertising budget, renamed Vista to Mojave, pumped another billion dollars into advertising, failed, and started to covert their offices to Mac, got caught, fired the guy who caught them, and finally settled in for a nice cup of hot, tasty ‘we-dont-give-a-crap’…
