• 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.

Features to add

I belong to another forum that has 2 features I would enjoy seeing here. These are 2 links at the top of every page you are on once logged in.

Unread posts and unread replies.

Unread Posts are new posts, obviously, that you haven't seen yet. Either old threads with new posts or new threads all together. This one might be problematic just because of the size of this forum.

Unread replies are what I would like to see the most here. This is a link that directs you to replies to any thread you have posted in, very nice feature.
 
No need to add features that already exist. ;)

What you call "Unread posts" can be found in the top menu bar called "New Posts".

"Unread replies" would be very similar to the existing subscription system. Go to the User CP, select Edit Options and change the "Default Thread Subscription Mode" to one of the 3 notification modes - Instant, Daily, or Weekly.
 
I never tried the subscription feature until just now. Just didn't really think I'd use it. Anyway, it's kinda cool.

Now if I could just find out why my friends list is empty..... :)
