• 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.

Is it me or the new software?

*disclaimer* I have trouble describing computer glitches. I may use words like "thingy" and "dohicky". I truly believe these to be technical terms but I may not have their meaning correct. Pls bear with me.

I've noticed that when I browse TFL more than once a day that during the 2nd (or 3rd or 4th or 5th...well, you get the idea) session, if I click on a thread that I had looked at earlier, I get the last view I saw, not the new posts. In order to get the new posts, I have to hit the "refresh" button on my browser.

It's a browser setting. You need to set it to compare pages against the cache on every view. Otherwise it only compares it the first time you go there, then loads from the cache on your hard drive on every other visit.

In Internet Explorer 5.x:
Click on Tools
Click on Internet Options
Click on Settings under Temporary Internet Files
Choose Every Visit to the Page under Check for Newer versions of stored pages.


If you are running some other browser let me know and I'll let you know how to change them in yours.
