• 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.

Yes, I recently was included in the Firing line links section, and I consiter it quite an honor, but I need to find out why when I changed my signture block and retyped my web page URL, the automatic link now does not work on my posts, it something wrong or does that happen to all websites listed in the links page of the Firing Line?

I believe that you have to include the "http://" in front of the "www", you may even have to type the whole thing out with UBB Code similar to this: {url=http://www.2ndamdlvr.homestead.com/home.html}Second Amendment Site{/url}

The only change being that you should use a bracket like [ and ] instead of the { and the }.

If you want to, click on the "Edit" Icon here in my post and see how I did it for the link in my sig. line.

Good Luck

The problem was fixed yesterday. If you still have this problem do a reload on the links page. It's working.

Great web site, BTW.
