• 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.

Is the NewPosts search output limited?

I get to visit with my computer only on weekends and so only visit The Firing line weekly as well. I end each visit by marking all posts as read so that, at my next visit, the New Posts search allows me to review new material. Over the past few months (I have not collected data), the New Post search has presented me with exactly 400 posts with a (perceived) frequency that seems unnatural. Has random chance actually led to a new post count of 400, or am I seeing the workings of some setting in vBullitin and so should be searching forum by forum over dates since my last visit?

400 posts is the setting for the maximum search results to return.

You should probably search either by forum (General Discussion, Legal and Political) or by parent forum (ie Hogan's Alley, The Conference Center) to get more complete results.
