Aded a couple things today- if they cause problems let me know but all seems well:
1. Custom cursors - now uses the NWN hand instead of your standard arrow cursor as well as a vertical hand over links.
2. Cell Highlights - On the main page, you can now hover anywhere over the catagory - it will become highlighted (or dimmed in our case) and you can click anywhere in it to enter that board instead of having to click on the text. (I couldnt get this to work within the boards though, just at the main page)

ah-hah... no wonder why the boards are all weird for me now. I'm not getting the cursor especially.

Silentus, you have given me the finger! How dare you!  But it takes about 2 seconds to load each time I point the finger at a link, and the normal finger, ehh hand cursor has the same when the page loads. However, I do like the NWN cursors. So maybe this will speed things up? |

Ok, Ill try moving the files involved over to www.castille.us and see if there is any improvement. I have also noticed the following: 1. depending on your internet security settings you may not 'get the finger' - no biggie there 2. The first time you visit the site, you may need to cache the finger. Just hold it over a link for a couple seconds - once in cache that seems to be no issue (at least for me) If this doesnt work out, Ill just remove it altogether - just trying to get cute and have the everpresent hand we all know and love  Ill post again when the cursor has moved to castille |

Ok, please refresh and check your pointers again... let me know if toyou have problems... also, if you have an opinion about it tell me if you think the custom cursor is worth the troubles (Im assuming the problems will not be resolved by that file move). The celll shading thing I can leave in eather way - its just the pointer Im talking about here.
For those already using a NWN theme, you can see the difference between my and your cursors because the 'hover' icon over links on mine was crated by me, so it will look differnt than the one in your general OS. Mine is simply the same hand in a vertical configuration

At work, a bit slow. But a lot faster after adding them to Castille.us. At home, no problems at all Please, keep the fingers. (and the dimming). Zhoreb |

FYI Silentus, same as before for me... no cursors, but I get the rest of your "cuteness attempt" no biggie as I do not need a special cursor for this site, altho, I do notice that without the new cursors, my normal cursor does not change to denote the links etc... mine actually shows the "input text" icon when I am over a link instead the "normal" link cursor... but, since I am a linux user I do not need such bells and whistles anyways lol |

Ok, I like the cute hand, but I guess I'll give the finger 'the finger' and remove it. The cell highlight will stay around though. Will update a little later today.
