• 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.

There's a color box at the top of the reply section for changing within in the text. I don't remember how to make it permanent in a sig line.

Try this:

[color=red]Signature text here.[/color]

[color=yellow]Signature text here.[/color]

[color=blue]Signature text here.[/color]

The [color] tags won't show up in the actual signature line when it's displayed, but that's how it will look while you're editing the signature. Also, I've made the colors match what the tags say, but you won't see the colors while you're doing the actual signature editing.

John....could you be more specific...where do I click to perform this....I cannot find color options in the edit signature area....(computer illiterate !) When I try to color in edit signature in signature permissions area is says NOT ALLOWED to BB color options. Any ideas? Do I need a certain amount of posts before I'm approved for color?

Jim,

Just type in the [color=][/color] tags with the text in between just as shown in my examples and it should work.

No clicking on anything is required.

John ...I tried again and again under signature permissions I'm allowed some privileges but it says NO to allowing me to use color option BB code....I'm assuming I do this in the edit signature option in my profile.....further investigation says the BB codes to allow color or not and other BB options are set by the administrator.....something to do with the hmtl code that I don't quite follow....Jim

Jim,

Sorry for the bum steer.

It appears that color signatures are currently not allowed for general users.

Jim,

After some staff discussion, we can't come up with a reason why colored text should be disabled in signature lines. As a result, the capability has been enabled and the colors should work now. Just type the tags as shown in the third post on this thread and you should get the colors you desire.
