• 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.

It's getting painfully slow, but then frees up for a few minutes...

So maybe not so much the server as the web itself? :confused:

Right about when Pointer posted, it was as slow as frozen molasses, but it's fine now. At the same time this happened, THR was just fine.

I'm moving this thread to the Tech Questions area.

This has been the cause of many duplicate posts in the recent past. Perhaps sensop can explain it better than I could.

I ended up with three posts in one thread - by accident. It also kicked in slow and went dead today. Fortunately, I learned from the last time and didn't try to repost. It finally went through but damn it's a bitch trying to post here these days. I also had trouble trying to use the page, look at the posts, etc. At least I know it's not just me....:eek:

Behind-the-scenes changes are underway to relieve this problem. Hopefully the current slowness won't last more than a couple more days.

Please have patience. :)
