• 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.

How do I ask a question

Whether you mean the jacket or plating on a bullet itself or the casing that holds a bullet to make a round of ammunition, the best forum for your question is the Reloading forum.

Mal, what about the General Discussion forum? Not knowing if it's for handguns, rifles, shotguns, etc. and not necessarily about any type of reloading process, that would be my thought...

Mara, head over to the General Discussion forum and ask your question, there. If it's in the wrong spot, I'll take the heat...;)

Be sure to post pics, if you can so we can have a better idea of what's going on.

Go to our Home page. All of our forum titles should be listed on the left side of the page. Scroll down until you see "Conference Center" as the header. The General Discussion forum is highlighted below it. Click on that and you can start a thread like you did here.

That's because your photos are too large. Whether you use an actual digital camera or a cell phone, other than something like 640x480 (a setting that NOBODY uses), most digital cameras and cell phones start with a minimum resolution that's bigger than most people's screen size. When you post such photos, people have to scroll up and down and side-to-side to see one image -- and nobody likes to do that. Also, large images like that take up more bandwidth and server storage space. So this site limits the size of photos you are allowed to attach.

You can resize your photos using any of a number of programs (or "apps"). If you are using a Windows computer, the Paint program that comes with Windows can do it. There are also some excellent free programs that can do resizing in batches. I use one call IrfanView. A friend of mine prefers Faststone. Also, Microsoft offers a free utility app that resizes photos.

I would suggest an image size of 800x600 or 1024x768 -- I wouldn't go any larger than that.
