Hey Joe,

I am just not sure what it is you are talking about.  We have a powder horn section?  Or am I just clogged up with horn dust from sanding on a dozen horns yesterday and don't understand what's up?  OK then, I will just go out to the shop and sand another dozen horns so I can maintain the foggy view.

Hey John, I noticed that on the left side of the screen by the posts topics there are now powder horn icons displayed to show when there is a new post. Certainly I wouldn't be the only one seeing them, would I? However, you never know... :lol sign

Well, as per usual, I am left out.  In years gone by, I remember that a lot of photos where one had to follow a link to look at it, I would get a message saying I was not qualified to view that particular photo or some such thing.
Now I don't get the powder horn icon.  Oh well, guess I will head out into the shop and continue working on the two dozen powder horns I have on the bench right now.  Don't need them stinking powder horn icons, I got my own horns to play with.
Or is it that the change has not worked it way this far west?  Yeah, that's the ticket.  Or maybe because of the big storm, the change could not get over the Sierra Nevada mountains.  Too much snow.  That's gotta be it.  I'll just wait until it melts a bit and things can get through.

Don't feel left out. It hasn't made it to south Mississippi yet either and we don't have a lot of snowed in mountain passes for it to get thru.

Hmmm, maybe it's just being tested right now, I don't know. Perhaps I spoke to soon of it?  :shake

Joe,
Maybe you're just "special"?
Or you could be one of the BETA testers?
Or it could have been a side benefit of some of that special "shine".
Or, I don't know, something like that.

 John, Rondo, I don't know what to tell you.
They are on the "HOME Page"....click home at the top of the page on the far left.

They are not for anyone or anything special, they are there to tell you there are no new posts in that thread.
They have been there for two days now, and it's the first thing you see when you log onto the forum.
Every thread that has no new posts will have a Powder Horn along the margin of that thread.

Uncle Russ....

Makers Mark, it's good stuff....it makes Powder Horns show up where there ain't supposed to be none..... :P

Not sure what kind of mo'chine you're working on nowadays, but if you have a Keyboard and the all "F" Keys, you might want to try F-5 to refresh the screen. If ya got one of them touch screens I'm not sure how ya refresh that screen.

My wife has a tablet, and I'm certainly a Fred Flintstone on that puppy.
But I can find Amazon, and it always tells me where I'm at.... :bow

She doesn't seem to have any problems, but it's backackwards to my old fashioned learning.

Don't know what to tell you fellers that can't see the Powder Horns....throw away the cheap stuff, and buy better likker????

Russ,
Sage advice.
Life is way too short to waste time drinking bad booze or white wine.  Maker's Mark - good choice.
You got it absolutely right!!
