• 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.

Change the Visited / Non Visited link colors...

Right now they are backwards of how they used to be - so I'm thinking I'm reading a new thread, when I've already read it. Any chance of you changing this back to how it used to be?

That 180 degree change is *still* fouling me up. 17 months of UBB makes it a hard habit to break in just a few days.

Of course, I could just be a slow learner. ;)

I just thought of a good reason to change it back to the way it was. (Unread links blue / Read links black)

The way it was before, I could spot a hyperlink within a post easily by its color. Now it appears black, just like all the other text. This, coupled with the new underline feature make it very difficult to differentiate underlined text from a link.

This might be a link.

This might be a link.

How can you easily tell?

Besides the fact that on most web pages the unvisited link shows up as a brighter color (usually blue) and the visited link shows up as a subdued color. Most people would probably be used to it being that way. The way the board is set up now is probably kind of confusing to people. Pretend we are all from Palm Beach County (No offense intended, Rich).
