I work with a number of accounts and websites at GoDaddy and was on
their website to make some changes. SM 2.13.2 could not uncover

worked -
I then could navigate and make my changes.
I like SM but I do get tired of feeling like I'm using a second
class product.
I manage a website hosted by GoDaddy and have not experienced this
problem. What does "uncover" mean?
A column of links appeared to SM as just words/phrases - the
underlining
that is common for links was not displayed - hence, links uncovered..

Underlining for links can be turned off with CSS, unless you create
your
own CSS file and direct SM to use that file in place of the web page
document CSS.

Yes, I have encountered a number of Web sites where links are not
underlined. I also find sites where links do not change color when
they
are selected or are not colored at all. Both are condemned as very
poor
implementation of Web designs, but they nonetheless exist.
David,
I agree. When the mouse passes over something that might be a link, the
text link should change. It is called Hover, and when the mouse hovers
over a link an underline should appear, or the background should change
color, or if it is an image link the image should roll over. Too many
web sites use JavaScript to make these happen, but CSS can do it without
JavaScript and accomplish the same task.

My cursor always changes from an arrow to a pointing hand, never the
text. Isn't that the way it's always been? Change the cursor?
When the mouse passes over a hyper-link the cursor is supposed to change
to a different icon, it is system dependent. Your changes according to
Microsoft 98 - XP.
Actually, I'm on a Mac...but I've always assumed that this was an
interface "standard" because I see the same on my work PC.
However, the web designer can ise scripting to change the cursor icon
wile visiting the web site, and then go back to normal when leaving the
web site.
I'll have to watch for that. I can't recall ever noticing a
site-specific cursor.
The use of CSS to control the action of a link when hovering is an added
visual cue about the link. Some web designers remove all underlines
from all hyper-links to make the page more attractive.
Michael G
The only time I notice links that aren't underlined (on a Mac) is when
they are imbedded in an image - like a banner or such. And then I
generally get a tool-tip for the embedded link if I hover long enough.
