Mouse cursors are stored in a special "X11 Cursor Data" format, with a specified name for use by the X server. They are generated through either "xcursorgen" or "inkscape".

Thanks, I can't use something like GIMP, or Blender to make Cursors?

It's spam, Richard... it is a Chinese site putting something vaguely relevant to the topic in a message, then a link to a website (in this case "wholesale pearl jewelry"). It is all done by a script. Just ignore it.

how come nothing has been done about that member then? OMG, somebody will be dumb enough to fall for it, =/. Not I, in fact, I didn't even see that link he linked, until you said something.

The good thing about forums like these are that they tend to be populated by relatively intelligent people, who aren't likely to click on spam links. You'd think the spammers would cotton on to this and move to a forum with a lower overall IQ, wouldn't you?

Hey, spammers! Find a Justin Bieber forum. You'll have better luck. :D

The spammer in question has been banned, and their posts deleted. In this case, you read the topic before a moderator banned the spammer.

The link doesn't have to be clicked, just having it on the site raises their score for search engines.
