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"

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.

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 sign out every night, and turn off the confuser also!  Then I sign back in the next time I get on the evil machine.

Do I get a little star for being first?  :applaud
