• 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.

Inserting images directly into post

I'm working on another post, and I can't seem to figure out how to post images directly into post. The images I want to put in are way too big to post as attachments, so how do I directly insert images into the post?
 
Click on the insert image icon (
insertimage.gif
)and copy in the URL of the image you wish to post into the box that comes up.
 
... and the images have to be uploaded to a picture hosting site.

However, if an image is too large to upload as an attachment, you can usually downsize it with any of the image processing applications or sites. For example, MS Paint or IrfanView.com.
 
Best tool for sizing Pictures is Irfanview. It sizes the Picture. Then load it up on TFL and copy the link and paste it in this ( insert Image button ). Then the Picture is "inline" in the post.

Very easy once you use the free Software Irfanview. If you do not dowsize the Pictures you get constant hassle for failed upload due to oversized photos. I just recommend Irfanview.
