• 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.

Limit the search function?

I just can't seem to keep up with the volume of traffic here at TFL. That is a good thing, generally, but when I am pressed for time I feel like I am missing out on some good information and discussions.

Is it possible to set up the user profile in such a manner that when one hits the "view new threads" command, it will only show the new threads for selected forums the user has in his profile?

By limiting the search results in this manner, the users will be better able to keep up with the posts in the forums they are most interested in. They can always go through the various forums manually if they have extra time on any given day.

Thanks for a great site!
 
I've been exploring possibilities relating to your request. AFAIK, there is no way to do exactly what you request since the "New Threads" list has no limiting factors as determined by the user.

However...

When you view any particular forum, you are automatically viewing the most recent posts to that forum. As long as you aren't subscribed to too many, it shouldn't be much of a problem to just view them this way.

HTH! :)
