• 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.

lol ..not that it is a big deal...as maybe half the members have a location listed..but the other half...... well.... do not include the location anywhere. Might be nice to see it next to the title or next to their name. And maybe a 50 state drop down for ease of use when creating a for sale for trade post. Saves the whole ..Location? post commonly needed
 
If you don't see the location listed under the member's name that is because the user chose not to enter a location into their profile. If they didn't enter it it's not available for the software to display it.

Even if it were possible to force new member to enter a location to register, there's no way to make that retroactive to the thousands of existing members.

I gave up on the people who don't want to post their location in their advertisements. I search the TFL Gun Show with a state or region abbreviation--I never even see the ads of people who don't include that information...
