• 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.

Well, as you may have seen, I've started over with a new name (Ironbarr), but, at the time, with an active account under (AndyB), I wasn't sure whether to have auto login (cookie fix). Now I must always insert same (SA). Any way around this (Full Auto)?

Click the 'preferences' link just under the 'post reply' and 'post new topic' buttons at the top right of this page.

There, you should click the obvious line that will delete all your cookies. Then you should close down your browser, open it back up and enter TFL through the front door. http://www.thefiringline.com

That should do it. Lettuce no howit werks. :)

Sorry about that - the "obvious" escapes me. Having tried several times, including moving the cookie out of play, I still go directly to the main menu page using http://thefiringline.com URL; I don't go to the entry (rules, etc.) page.

Must be cockpit trouble in this old fighter plane. :) What am I missing? By the way, my "andyb" cookie is missing (as it probably should be); the existing cookie is shorter.

Sorry about this.

Well, I finally got past my cockpit problem - but it didn't fly. After several attempts of deleting cookie(s) and confirming same with Explore, setting 'Yes' to the one year question, saving (w/confirm message), then going out of IE and back in, and going to www.thefiringline.com, I came to the normal front page with the Forums and other link buttons. Posting anything requires a manual input of ID & PW. In the past few days I changed the generated cryptic PW I'd received earlier for Ironbarr ... and the PW box shows the appropriate number of asterisks, but it apparently is not the new PW. When I manually enter the new PW I can post.

So I'm looking at two things here, one cookie-related - other PW related.

FYI: After I had deleted the cookies I never got to that entry page where the rules are published (like a new register).

What am I doing wrong?

I'm not sure if this will help with your PW problem, but do you have AutoComplete turned on in IE?

Tools menu->Internet options->Content->AutoComplete->User names and passwords on forms
 
Sound like you're using Internet Explorer. Go to inernet options, file settings then view the files. Once you open up the view files, you'll see thousands of cookies that the delete missed.
You can also close your browser, right click start-then explore-then find Temorary Internet Files folder. Delete all the content of the temp folder.
