You posted:

<dnn:USER runat="server" id="dnnUSER" cssClass="userCtrl" />

Attributes ARE case sensitive, instead of cssClass, it should be CssClass.

Your individual css classes for each of the link types are all the same. Combine them into one definition if you're not doing anything differently with them.

I'm at a loss as to why this isn't working for you. I can verify that this is the same way I am doing it at Demon Chronicles.

The only other suggestion I can say to try is to change the CSS class name to something else and see if it has any effect at all on your skin.

Also, use FireFox as your browser to test this on and download the FireBug extension from the FireFox website. It's a must have for any design development, it really is incredible. You'll be able to inspect any element, edit CSS classes in place, etc., seeing immediate results any changes. You can step through javascript and a bunch of other stuff right at the browser.

The Demon Chronicles site is a 4.4.1 site, not that it makes a difference because I used this skin on earlier versions as well.

As a comparison, heres the section in my skin:

<td colspan="8" background="<%= SkinPath %>images/04.jpg" width="581px" height="27px" valign="top" align="right" alt="">
    <dnn:USER runat="server" id="dnnUSER" Text="Sign-Up" CssClass="user" />
    &nbsp;|&nbsp;
    <dnn:LOGIN runat="server" id="dnnLOGIN" Text="Sign-In" LogOffText="Sign-Off" CssClass="login" />
</td>

Here's the skin's class:

A.user:link, A.user:active, A.user:visited, 
A.login:link, A.login:active, A.login:visited,
A.breadcrumb:link, A.breadcrumb:active, A.breadcrumb:visited,
A.hostname:link, A.hostname:active, A.hostname:visited,
A.terms:link, A.terms:active, A.terms:visited,
A.privacy:link, A.privacy:active, A.privacy:visited,
A.copyright:link, A.copyright:active, A.copyright:visited
{
    color: #ECF123;
    text-decoration: none;
    font-size: 10;
    font-weight: bold;
}

Here's the view source:

<td width="581" valign="top" height="27" background="/PublicPortal/Portals/_default/Skins/Demon - Main/images/04.jpg" align="right" colspan="8">
