• 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.

One more thing, when I click on the Firearm Photos tab at the top of the screen it takes me to a website called Securityarms.com. It also opens a second wind which appears to trying to download something; fortunately my security stops it. Just a heads up.
 
Unless you're getting a different popup than I am, that's a youtube video (DD AR-15 ad). If embedded youtube videos freak you out, you must not surf the web much... they're everywhere.

If you have popup blocking enabled, you shouldn't even see that pop-up window. Doesn't IE8 come with popup blocking enabled by default? Tools -> Popup Blocker -> Turn on...
 
The popup is loading correctly today. Yesterday it was very slow to load and there was no way to identify it as a youtube video, which yes I do recognize :rolleyes:. So I guess a tab label Firearms Photos going to a webpage titled Securityarms.com is normal SOP.
 
Yep, it's normal. That link was placed there a long time ago when securityarms was much less advertising-centric.

Since google images will find virtually anything, that link isn't so useful anymore. Maybe it should be removed.
