• 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.

...the "Up to your old tricks" thread, where I almost put it, but that one had seemed to have pretty well run its course.

Here goes. Earlier this evening, for reasons unknown to me, the password/handle wasn't automatically supplied. I tried to post a couple of times, putting it in myself. Now, I'm the world's worst typist and I often make mistakes--mistakes can't be seen in the password since it's represented by stars for security.


My complaint/concern is this: Every time I get my password wrong when the auto system isn't working, the whole message I've typed (laboriously) is lost when I return with the back button. Can anything be done about that or has it already been addressed? TIA.

P. S. My handle/password were automatically supplied for this post.

Rod-
I've never quite figured out why this happens. I apologize for the trouble. I suggest the following:
1) Go to the "profile" tab and set your password to something easy to remember.
2) When the system does not remember your password copy your post to the clipboard before submitting it. That way, if it's lost, you can just paste it to a new reply.

Thanks, Rich,

I have the same password on most other boards, but I didn't know how to set this one. I feel better already. Happy trails.
