• 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.

Can't upload images

Hi, I'd like to upload a picture from my computer. I did everything I was supposed to, but each time it read that the upload failed. Do you have any suggestions?
 
2.92Mb is (basically) 2920 K... in other words, WAY over the size limit.

Microsoft's Photo Gallery program can help you resize them.

After installing it, if you don't already have it, you'll probably have to import your pictures to it's library.

After that, just right click on a picture and choose "Resize", set the largest dimension to "640" and you will generally end up with a picture that fits the forum perfectly but also fits the size limits.

Otherwise, you can set up a free photobucket account, upload your images to there and link to them in your posts, by copying their URL, clicking the
insertimage.gif
button in your reply and pasting the URL into the popup box.

The downside there is that photobucket doesn't resize them, so they may be too large to fit well on a forum post.
