I like this new feature of the Powder Horn Notification of a new post.
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

I'm not seein' the powder horns either. 😟

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.

Now that's odd for sure. I see them on our Forum home page still.

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.

Nope,.... been goin' to the HOME page and don't see'em. 😥

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????
:lol sign

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!!

It'll break my heart to "throw away" my Crown Royal black label😭 ,.... but if it'll help me see "the powder horn" maybe I could manage it for'a day. :bow

You are referring to the "no-see-um" Powder Horns, right?
What if I told you there are no Powder Horns...... ::)
What if all this was a silent eye-exam cooked up by Bigsmoke and Ohio Joe, 'cause they thought it was April Fools Day.
Don't throw away that CR Black, just yet....ya just might need a little taste later on, once ya can actually "see-um"
:lol sign

Next you'll be tellin' me there ain't no elephants,.... but I seed'em myself less'n 30 years ago, jest west of Pinedale WY. (one of'em was scratchin' his butt with his nose :o)

Well, I sure see those powder horns, and the scribbley writing on them when there are new posts to look at. Plus, if you click on the scribbley writing it opens up only the topics with new posts.
What is irritating to me is the new thing where when I run the cursor over a topic it pops up a preview of what is written. Is there any way to turn that off in our profile settings :pray:?

Yep, that's cool,.... but NO, that's not what I see.
I don't know how to do a "screen shot" of what I see,.... but I can try if someone will give me some advice. :)
-
No Rondo, don't do it.
Don't shoot your screen.
It don't matter if you cannot see the cute little powder horns.
Just get out one of your own and look at it. That'll do just fine.

Thanks John, I'll put my NWTG up,................................. for now! :) :bl th up :toast

Can anyone give me a recommendation on a load for a screen shot ::)
-
Speaking of screen shots, it reminds me of a time maybe 20 - 25 years ago. A fellow I know was talking about having a technology shoot. I had a few CRT's taking up space in the storeroom so I donated them, might have been an old computer as well. He was going to have some cell phones, 5 line phones, computers, printers, computers, what have you. I don't know if it ever really got further than the talking stage, but it would have sure been a lot of fun. Sure could have been a heck of a mess to clean up after the shooting was over but worth the work, I'd think.
Hank, I would think a mild charge of 60 grains Fffg would work well on a screen shot, but make sure of your aim. A wounded screen does not take well to being shot at.

I still don't see powder horns. And I'm totally ignernt (Southern for ignorant) of "screenshots"? :o

Hanshi, Possibly y'all ought to reword your personal message at the bottom of your posting. Maybe sometimes it should read:
Old guys should hang out with young guys. Young guys know stuff. :lol sign

I have to agree with that!
They can make their confuser work for them while doing some pretty amazing things.
My little Granddaughter is in the 4th Grade, she has used a Classroom Computer, plus her own Tablet for 3 of those years.
Her homework is in urls, not pages, and she decided at a very early age that there was little help for her Neanderthal Grandfather.
Yep, old guys really need to pay attention to those young folks..
