+The Leprechauns Posted April 14, 2003 Share Posted April 14, 2003 If you mouseover the little icon, it has popup text that says "hot topic." Although Mr. Snazz thinks it's a duck. x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x .sdrawkcab dootsrednu tub sdrawrof devil si efiL Link to comment
+MissJenn Posted April 15, 2003 Author Share Posted April 15, 2003 If I mouseover it, nothing happens! Thanks for the 'splaining! (I gotta say, though, that is a lame flame graphic...) ----- You must be present to win. Link to comment
