• 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.

i am having a problem up loading pictures. i went to faq and it said you could create albums but i don't see where it is in my user cp.. how can i create a album and up load pictures, i was able to upload a picture of my 1911A1 but not my M-4. any help would be appreciated, i am not real computer savvy and am trying to learn so help and understanding would be appreciated.
 
The FAQ's are the general FAQ's supplied by vBulletin, and probably have info on many features we don't have implemented here at TFL. Albums is one of the features we have chosen not to turn on. TFL isn't a social networking type of BB, so albums are not necessary here.

We do allow uploading attachments in posts, and those attachments can also be used in any future posts by the use of the and [ATTACH] tags. However, there are several websites that specialize in image storage, and we encourage members to use them. Here's some of them:

Now, as for uploading an image of your M-4, we simply don't allow any pictures of M-4's here. :) No, seriously, it may be because the image is too large to upload. The image size limits are given in the Manage Attachments window when uploading. Or maybe there is something wrong with the structure of the image file you are trying to upload.
