Very odd this fair morn.....
On screen .....I had neither an arrow or a hand as a cursor (?) as I ambled around the site to start with......Though I could click on sections with the 'I' shaped 'thingy'. (Stop me, if I'm getting too technical  ;))

Hmmmm.....also can't highlight 'words' at the mo'...either to delete, or do something like making them 'bold'.....My PC....Or something on the site ?

Famous last words Phil, but all ok on my PC.

Its not that unusually for the cursor graphic to get a bit confused, and fail to revert back to the arrow for general pointing. The image shown of the cursor is really for the user's benefit, to indicate what can be done in certain areas. The 'computer' just cares were the cursor is pointed at, not what it is looking at.

So if it works as an I beam then fine - if you are having problems, then I'd quit your browser first, and if that doesn't work then a restart will be in order. Its most likely to be some temporary thing.

The I cursors usually insert mode. Try pressing the ins key on your keyboard to come out of insert mode.

Have you been washing it under the pump again, Phil?
