Hello friend，good day.

I have a question. Why does my button change to an “I” shape when I hover the mouse over it, instead of a hand icon? How can I adjust this in the backend?

Another problem is that I set a 10-second delay, but the page still opens instantly without any delay. This setting is completely useless. Is there something wrong with my configuration?

I assume you added an interaction to it, right? In this case, the HTML tag is still `<span>` which does not automatically chance cursor to pointer. So what you need to do is to set `cursor` control to `pointer`.

10 what? 🙂 Seconds? Minutes? Bananas? 😃 I think if you write `10s` instead of just `10` it should works.

Let me know 🙂

It even better to just change tag from `<span>` to `<button>`. It will change cursor to pointer and make button accesible via keyboard.
