• 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.

Mailbox overflowing with notifications

In my settings, I have "Use 'Email Notification' by default?" set to "NO", and whenever I post, I make sure I have "Email notification" unchecked, but I keep getting notifications for every thread I subscribe to! :mad: Does anyone else have this problem, or know how to fix it?

Thanks
 
Subscribing to a thread will override the general settings in your options profile. You need to unsubscribe to any threads when you want to stop being notified.
 
Well, thanks for pointing that out. I guess I can just add an e-mail filter to block the notifications then. :)

Fine choice of board software though; very usable compared to most others I've seen.
 
Ok, you've got me confused. You don't want to unsubscribe and would rather block the emails which you don't want to receive?
 
Turn off the notifications and ease the load on the server. Unless you want a notification.

Notifications are great for 'sleeper' threads you want to keep informed on, but not for 'hot topics', in my experience.
 
I use subscribe to keep track of the threads I'm watching, instead of copying the addresses of the threads to a notepad file or bookmarking them and constantly editing my bookmarks. It's just that if I have a list of updated threads in my control panel, I don't need to be told again when I go to check my mail.

I've seen similar boards that have a "favorite" thread option, which do the same thing, but only send mail if told to.
