• 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.

Ya'll must have gone to a login timeout recently, is that true? Or did I just work faster before. lol Seems that what I used to be able to do was do a little browsing on your forums, switch to another site and then switch back and still be logged in. Now seems just a little time away causes me to be logged off. If you have implemented a time out, could I suggest a little be longer time. Seems way to short right now. Just a suggestion and I know you have your reason for implementing it.

Yep, we've had the same timeout here as at THR as long as we have been using vBulletin, and that's most of the entire history of both sites. And we have given the same advice at both sites - check off the "Remember me" box.

Ya'll are right again. I don't know when the remember me got unchecked but that was it. Been logged in now without a single problem. Sorry and thanks.
