Title: "Grabby" hand?
Post by: getagrip on 24 February 2015, 09:47:35 AM
Am I going even more insane or has a new grabby hand appeared when I navigate the forum.

Has it always been there or is it new?

"Grabby hand" ... what?

I have a pointy arrow or an "I" if inserting text into a reply.

English hands for English forums?  ;)

you haven't just changed your mouse pointer by accident, to look like a hand instead of an arrow or something?

otherwise, I've no idea what we're talking about I'm afraid.

I used to have a pointy finger, now I've got a grabby hand (a la Adobe) which then turns into a pointy finger when over a clicky thing.

I haven't changed my settings, I think the Dark Lord is trying to possess my computimebob :-SS

Ah! I've just changed my PC theme and now have a pointy finger an arrow and an I. So, possibly a change at your end and not the forum.

If you go in to control panel and select mouse there should be a way to put the pointer back to the default settings
