• 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.

I can't log on The High Road

I visit a few gun related sites including this one. For about a month now I can't log on to The High Road. I've tried everything I can think of to rectify the situation. I use SBC ADSL and I can't ping the site and tracert just dies after a couple hops. I've checked firewalls, and used several different P.C.s (eliminated the router, I use separate modem ((I'm using DHCP)) and no luck. I've posted over there a long time and never violated policies so I can't see me bring blocked. When I try to connect the connection just times out, I never get to site. I tried SBC help desk but they only went so far and then wanted to charge me. Anybody have a moderators e-mail address from THR?
 
Moving to Tech Support forum so we don't tie up TFL's General Discussion forum.

"Anybody have a moderators e-mail address from THR?" I do. ;)

Let's see if we can figure it out. At first glance it sure seems like the problem is on your end.

What is your user name on THR? Have you tried logging in from a different computer or site? Have you changed anything in conjunction with the problem? (New ISP, new operating system, new browser, etc.)
 
I've been having this problem intermittently since the beginning of March. For me, it is related to my IP. When my IP is 66.x.x.x, I get through. When it is 74.x.x.x, I do not. However, even when my IP is 74.x.x.x, I can connect through one of the anonimizer sites ( http://anonymouse.org/anonwww.html ).
 
Well thankyou Mal H and Tim. First octet is currentley 75. I tried anonymouse and I got through. Slow though through a proxy? Thanks!!
