What it is
The cursor, or pointer, is the arrow that shows the movements made by the mouse. The standard cursor in the web is the white arrow, which changes according to the link, the loading of a page di una pagina or just when it passeson normal text.

How to change it
The cursor can be changed via CSS, choosing the cursor to give to the body of the page or to the links on it, inserting the code in Manage HTML code in the box "At the top of the forum". The element to change is the name, which should be replaced by another in this list.
Body
HTML
<style type="text/css">
body { cursor: name }
</style>

Links
HTML
<style type="text/css">
a { cursor: name }
</style>

You can also customize the pointer with a custom image, just change this code, replacing link_of_cursor with the URL of the image to use:
HTML
<style type="text/css">
body {cursor:url(link_of_cursor), auto;}
</style>

<style type="text/css">
a {cursor:url(link_of_cursor), auto;}
