• 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.

Tip on updating cooky

I discovered a feature of this BB that you all may know about, but if not, it helps keep your cooky up to date.

I tend to read a lot of notes and stay on TFL for quite a while. During this time several new notes are usually posted by other TFL'ers. When you come back the next time, the new notes that you probably have already read will be flagged as new since your last visit. This is because the cooky is apparently set with your visit time at the start of the session. I have found that if you click on the graphic at the top left("The firing line ... enthusiasts"), this will update the cooky to the current date/time. You may have to click on it several times, since it seems to reflect your last several session times one at a time. For each click the "Your last visit ..." is updated. So that is the last action I take when leaving TFL.
