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.

I've noticed that with other forums that I access directly.
I used Tap & Squawk here, but not everywhere.
I think it may have to do with the code that forums have to use to make their sites readable to Tap & Squawk.

No, I have not switched. I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 and I always use the Internet app for my Internet needs. Nothing else. But I noticed it didn't happen this time when I went to get on the site. Yesterday it was all day every time I tried getting on it would take me to the other thing trying to get me to download an app. Maybe it was just a one day occurrence??!
