• 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.

Displaying images with "IMG" after we upload...

Unless there's some new voodoo in vBull 3, you can't do it that way. Uploaded images show as a link in your post, members have to click on it to get it to load.

The images you see in other posts are hosted on the 'net. That's different than an image file uploaded to TFL.

Hope this helps! :)

Have y'all played with allowing image uploads to display, but displaying them as thumbnails before they're clicked on? Seems like one of the nicer features of vB 3 (dont' know yet as I've still got to go through the vB3 upgrade again...)
 
Avatars are a separate issue. Easily turned on.
Not likely to happen.
They're cute; they're clutter.

We don't like cute.
We don't like clutter.

We'd prefer that you personalize your profile by the way you post; what you say; how people think of you.

I wildcat a few small cartridges (25ACP and 5.7x28 based)...So I may differ with your opinion of "cute". :)
But I can completely agree with the opinion on "clutter". My "standard" avatar is just an iconic representation of my first wildcat cartridge - 22 Epperson Cricket
