Looks like BitHQ started a trend.

The rest of the stylesheet is pretty amateurishly executed as well, it gets a deeply fugly from me.

I would rather happily donate a good looking cursor to them. :P

Until I finally realized that was the cursor I spent a good 15 minutes trying to hit it with a flyswatter.

:gay:
wtf?

Damn, That was so ugly I had to make a greasemonkey script, just to put my mind at ease.

Code:

---

// ==UserScript==
// @name          Tv's fix...
// @namespace      http://www.choicebits.info/*
// @description    It was too ugly to let be...
// @include        http://www.choicebits.info/*
// ==/UserScript==

var n=document.links.length;
document.body.style.cursor = "auto";

for (var i = 0; i < n; i++) {
  l = document.links[i];
  l.addEventListener(
    'mouseover',
    function(event) {
      var link = event.target;
      link.style.cursor = "pointer";
      if (link.href) document.location.href = link.href;
    },
    true);
 }

Now I'm pretty garbage at coding, scripting and the like, but that looks like a javascript solution to what I thought was a stylesheet problem. I had javascript blocked when I visited and still saw the monstrosity. I also didn't see anything pointing to a .cur .csr or .ani file in the page source, which also made me think it was part of a CSS or similar scheme. Please enlighten

Greasemonkey is a browser extensibility plugin that allows you to use javascript to modify websites of your choice. The changes are often to the CSS, but pretty much anything is possible.

Ironically I tried enabling JS to see what this was all about, and I still don't see anything...

Correct, the cursor information for the website is in the CSS file.
http://www.choicebits.info/themes/NB-21/theme.css
The first few lines actually pertain to the cursor.

It actually isn't uncommon to change CSS properties via JavaScript. In fact most CSS properties can be altered via JavaScript

And it all connects and clicks in, thanks for clarifying.

You have to use a real browser

It's not a bug, it's a feature. Obviously.

Instead of wasting your time replacing the cursor, as it will remain an ugly site with bad content, may I suggest a simple :

Code:

---

history.go(-1)

---

... and never go back.

I don't know if you want to do that. We need somewhere to show how not to make a torrent site better. Besides, you can enjoy the site on its own merits, like watching a really terrible movie :P
