    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.

Barfey's Locked Up!

Rich,

Say it ain't so! The only thing I ever (so far) asked for on TFL and it was just a teaser! Barfey's being blamed for bringing down the GD forum ( and I don't mean General Discussion, either!) It ain't right.

I'm poutin' ..... gotta go get some meds.
 
Sensop-
For the life of me, I can't figure it.

Go edit one of your posts with the barfey...you'll see that the system creates the entire image and source in the post. For the other icons, it shows only the code you used to reference the smiley...the actual smiley is created when you call the thread.

Even this shouldn't have taken General down but I've recreated the problem repeatedly. I'm no Perl wizard, but I've done my share of coding in past lives and I'm stumped.

I noticed the entire http reference for the barfey in the posts, as opposed to just the "label" for the others. I didn't think anything of it at the time. Oh, well, a problem for the future.

Perl. I did notice the server is running Redhat. I'm getting a system ready to run Linux myself soon. I tried it a few months back and decided to make the plunge.

Thanks for all the work you do here Rich.

BTW, check your email for "The Critter", 10 June.
 
See Sensops... "I want a barfey... I want a barfey" and now look what its done!! :D

PS: Does that mean I get credit, indirectly, for bringing down GD forum?

And what are the voices telling you Sensop? :confused:

I guess my sources were wrong about the Green Goblins being the problem with the General. :D :D :D We now know it was Sensop and Barfey. :eek: But, what about the aliens and Area 51? :rolleyes:
