• 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.

Heads up! UBB 5.47 - no need to lock big threads now!

Yep, they finally did it - you can get to pages 2, 3, 4, ... x from the forumdisplay pages now - I'm going to install it shortly.

Good news for you guys - you can now use the page break feature and break threads up instead of locking them down at 100k or so - I suggest breaking pages at 25 posts since it saves on overall bandwidth costs with smaller overall file sizes.

Hey, Spark.
That's great.....except.
UBB's a Dog on efficiency.
UBB's a Pig on resources.
UBB DOESN"T WORK Spread the word. We're outta here, no matter what the cost.

Okeydokey...

BTW - UBB 6 (the major rewrite for efficiency) is alpha testing in two weeks. Hopefully the major rewrite will have some beneficial effects - we're already seeing improvements with 5.46 and 5.47 in memory usage.

BTW, my recommendation still stands - after 50,000 posts or so, just make the forums read only and start a new one - not as much chance for corruption when you don't have those huge thread and search files.
