• 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.

How do you do BOLD TYPE?

Look around the screen for the blue link that says "vB code" and click it.

It will take you to a help screen.

Specifically, to do bold,

you put [] with a b between the brackets at the front of what you want bolded, and then you end that with [] and a /b between the brackets to turn bolding off.

Comes out looking like this:

Gotta love that coding!
 
Mike; You didnt tell me it was retroactive. I added Molon Labe to my signature and it went back and added it to previous posts. WOW!!!
 
Ed, I'm glad you added that last post. I just opened this thread for the first time and see your question followed by a big bold MOLON LABE. I was thinking, "Ed's been around here for a long time, I don't remember him trying to pull such an obvious joke before." ;)
 
Ed,

I didn't know it would update ALL of your previous message signatures.

I know this system is dynamic, but I didn't know it's THAT dynamic. :)
 
All of the settings in your user profile are dynamic. That is, once you change your email, for instance, all previous posts will show the new email addy.

This is part of the reason vB requires half the space of the old UBB. It creates HTML on the fly, as opposed to UBB where all raw data remained in one file and a second was created and stored in HTML. The UBB file structure, being flat, is not capable of allowing so many operations (eg: checking each Member profile when a thread is loaded). So it hard coded lots of stuff that didn't need to be hard coded.
