• Anything ‘published’ on the web is viewed as intellectual property and, regardless of whether it displays a copyright symbol or not, is therefore copyrighted by the originator. The only exception to this is if there is a “free and unrestricted reuse” statement associated with the work.

    In order to protect our members and TFL from possible litigation, all members must abide by the following new rules:

    1. Copying and pasting entire articles from another site to TFL is strictly prohibited. The same applies to articles from print or other media, and to posting photographs taken of copyrighted pages or other media.

    2. Copyright law provides for “fair use” of portions of a copyrighted work. You can copy no more than a SINGLE paragraph from the article to your post (3 or 4 sentences at most).

    3. You must provide a link to the article along with the name of website. For example: ww.xxx.yyy/zzz (The Lower Thumbsuck Daily News).

    4. You must provide, in your own words, a brief summary of the article AND your reasons for believing it will be of interest to TFL members. Failure to do so may result in the thread being closed or your post being deleted as a “cut and paste drive by.”

    5. Photographs and other images are also copyrighted. "Hotlinking" of images (so that it appears in your message) from other sites is also prohibited unless you own rights to the image. If you wish to share an image, provide a clickable link to it.

    Posts that do not follow these new guidelines will be altered or deleted by staff. Members who continue to violate this policy may lose their posting privileges at TFL.

    Thank you for your cooperation and your participation in TFL, the leading online forum for firearms enthusiasts.

OK, so I'm bored.

Never played with this "feature," but *** :confused: ... would somebody actually go through the "trouble" of placing smilies in their post & then disable them? or, maybe it's more like lockin' the liquor cabinet so you don't get tempted ...

Should it really be " ... in this thread" so you don't have to look at smilies everybody else posted?

BTW, ignore any smilies that show up here. I'm gonna risk everything, use up my smilie-limit & then disable 'em.

Mods, feel free to move this over to software/test area ... :D

:cool:

It could come in handy if you needed to place some symbols together that happened to create a smile. Not a biggie for general firearms discussion, but I imagine that there are boards using this software that cater to things like programming where you might wind up posting some code that would otherwise be a smiley. :D

I've seen posts that have a smilie right in the middle of a URL. Quite inconvenient to have to decipher.

:eek: or :p or :( could also appear in a post and unintentionally turn into a smilie.

P.S. Happy Birthday PreserveFreedom!
